KGB Espionage Museum, Intelligence museum in Chelsea, New York City, United States
The museum displayed 3900 original espionage devices, including surveillance equipment, spy cameras, recording devices, cipher machines, and KGB communication tools.
Founded in 2019 by Lithuanian collectors Julius Urbaitis and Agne Urbaityte, the institution relocated its collection from a former KGB bunker in Lithuania.
The collection illustrated Cold War intelligence methods through interactive exhibits where visitors experienced KGB interrogation rooms and training procedures.
Located in Manhattan near Greenwich Village, the 4,000-square-foot facility offered guided tours focusing on Soviet espionage operations until its closure in 2020.
The museum housed the Fialka Machine, the Soviet counterpart to the Enigma device, and a lipstick pistol designated as the Kiss of Death.
