Went to the Spy museum in DC today — loved it! a lil thread 🧵 Lots of interactive stations throughout. They also give you a card to start your “undercover mission” that carries through I’ll start with a couple code breakers/makers you might know: Turing and Cardano. AND something called Code Purple

I’ve always been fascinated by George Washington’s spy network. Great exhibit with a short film taking about Washington’s spies.

Interesting interactive exhibit on evaluating information to determine if Bin Laden was actually at the compound.

A few other random things: 9/11, Kennedy vs Kruschev, the Sisterhood at the CIA, and James Lafayette a slave who became a spy during the Revolution and was freed & who took his name from his patron the Marquis de Lafayette.

And lastly a few random pix from the lobby & shop. Would recommend — interesting & well designed but a bit pricey. Definitely good if you’ve been to the other museums in the area or have a fascination with spies like me. 🕵️♀️

It's still open??? I thought they closed for good in 2021 or so, this is such great news. That museum is where the gravity of the Berlin Wall and divided Germany really started to hit me (as a millennial US person)
