Spyscape, Intelligence museum in Midtown Manhattan, United States
Spyscape is an intelligence museum in Midtown Manhattan spanning multiple floors with interactive displays. It covers surveillance methods, cryptography, deception tactics, and modern espionage techniques through hands-on exhibits.
The museum opened in 2018, introducing interactive espionage education designed by former British intelligence professionals. This new approach made spy tradecraft accessible to the general public through immersive experiences.
Visitors test their spy skills through hands-on activities that connect espionage tradecraft with everyday security practices. The space reflects how intelligence work shapes modern life and technology.
