Spy Operations
They’re daring, clever, ingenious, and often dangerous – they’re spy operations! Join the International Spy Museum as we share the stories of some of our favorites. From a Cold War top secret submarine recovery to a daring World War II sabotage mission, we’ll explore creative and incredible operations that are as exciting and unbelievable as a Hollywood film – except they’re true!
The International Spy Museum (SPY) is an independent nonprofit museum which documents the tradecraft, history, and contemporary role of espionage. It holds the largest collection of international espionage artifacts on public display. The Museum opened in 2002 in the Penn Quarter neighborhood of Washington, DC, and relocated to a new, expanded building with all-new exhibitions at L'Enfant Plaza in 2019.
Every nation considers intelligence essential to its national security. The Museum lifts the veil of secrecy on the hidden world of intelligence, exploring its successes and failures, challenges, and controversies.
The Museum's mission is to create compelling exhibitions and other learning experiences that shed light on the shadow world of espionage and intelligence, educating and challenging each of us to engage critically with the complex world around us.
This program will take place online on Zoom. After registering, you will receive a link to the Zoom webinar at least three hours in advance of the program.
