Program areas at International Spy Museum

The exhibits: the International Spy Museum has the largest collection of historic espionage artifacts on public display. In 2022, the Museum's displays, media and interactive experiences feature the history, people, tradecraft and impact of intelligence on the world. In 2022, the Museum welcomed a record 650,000 visitors to l'enfant plaza. A survey by the Museum consultant pgav in 2022 gave helpful recommendations for changes to the Museum that would improve flow and visitor experience. Some of these changes were implemented in 2022 including an expansion of available interactive stations and improved signage throughout the Museum. A temporary exhibition, operation jacques, was mounted in the briefing center gallery. This exhibition told the 2008 story of a colombian military intelligence operation that resulted in the successful rescue of 15 hostages, including former colombian presidential candidate ingrid benancourt. The exhibition was developed in collaboration with the embassy of colombia and featured artifacts, photographs and video.
