International Spy Museum


The International Spy Museum is a independently owned and operated museum focused to the tradecraft, history and contemporary role of espionage, presenting the largest selection of international espionage artifacts presently on public display. The museum is situated within the 1875 Le Droit Building in the Penn Quarter neighborhood of Washington, D.C., throughout the street from the Old Patent Office Building and one block south of the Gallery Place Metro station via Red, Green and Yellow lines. In April 2015, ideas for a new museum developed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners were released.
