In the heart of Manhattan, covering over 18,000 square meters, the interactive Spyscape Museum has opened its doors, dedicated to the fascinating history of espionage. Designed by the renowned architect David Adjaye, this space allows everyone to experience the thrill of being a spy.

Spyscape features seven exhibition halls, each offering visitors the chance to delve into different aspects of spy work. You can try your hand at surveillance, encryption, deception, hacking, and intelligence gathering.

“Our goal is to show how spy skills can be applied to everyday life and to help people view the world and themselves in a new light,” says Shelby Pritchard, the museum’s director.

The creation of the museum involved collaboration with former members of well-known hacking groups and representatives from intelligence agencies, adding authenticity to the project. The design incorporates glass, concrete, acoustic panels, and polished mirrored steel, while dim lighting enhances the mysterious atmosphere.

Visitors can take an interactive tour where they become spies and tackle various challenges. At the end of the tour, each participant receives a recommendation for the most suitable spy role out of ten options.

The museum also includes a café, a bookstore with over a thousand rare spy books, and a gift shop with themed gadgets.

Tickets for this unique interactive experience are priced at $39. Spyscape offers an exciting adventure in the world of espionage right in the heart of New York City.
