The International Spy Museum is a very entertaining and fun museum!

An interesting museum and an interesting architectural example, designed by American architecture firm RSHP, it not only functions as a museum, but also allows visitors to appreciate its surroundings. The floors are connected by a metal stairwell, enclosed inside a glass facade.

In addition to the introduction, history and exhibits related to the spy, every visitor will become a player as a spy from the beginning of the door (a card will be issued at the door to give everyone their own "ID" to do the mission).

It's kind of like a script kill, when all of a sudden the lights go down in the elevator and the music bursts, and you think you're in a haunted house. After entering, each person will send an ID card, set your identity and task information in it, and then take this card to do tasks.

In the process of the museum to unlock new tasks, the exhibition is the history of the real spy equipment, the original real world spy equipment than the movie staged more exciting, such as the eyeball, the installation of pinhole cameras on the teeth, or quite eye-opening, feel the mystery and wisdom of the spy world.

In the process of visiting the entire museum after entering the door, there will be a lot of machines with screens for everyone to complete the game, so that visitors feel that they are real spies. It was fun, I saw 007's car, I was laughing at my own rubbish English when I was doing the task, and the reason why the task failed was that I didn't have time to read the task requirements (^^).

The museum's collection is also very rich, in fact, it is a private museum. The collection focuses on World War II and the Cold War. Like the famous Soviet flag bug. There are also plenty of spy paraphernalia for hard-core villains such as Britain's George Black and Cambridge Five Jacky Philby (both central figures in the universe).

There are a lot of small items of former spies from various countries, and they will explain how they do camouflage, etc. (for example, an item that looks like a briefcase with a lot of sophisticated machinery inside) very interesting!


This museum is very suitable for visitors of all ages, there will be a lot of students and children, very suitable for families or friends to travel together, adults and children feel very novel!
