International Spy Museum
Perhaps you’ve noticed that man y of my characters are amateur detectives, spy wanna-bes. Sarah quotes Sherlock holmes to Timothy and Molly writes down “just the facts” in her notebook of important things. So, it’s no wonder I was drawn to the International Spy Museum and just had to visit when I was in WA D.C.
According to the website: “The first and only public museum in the United States solely dedicated to espionage and the only one in the world to provide a global perspective on this all-but-invisible profession. It features the largest collection of international spy-related artifacts ever placed on public display.”
How can you resist information about microdots hidden betwen the paper layers of a postcard, the tunnel that Americans built under the Berlin wall that was used by both Americans and Russians to gather information. And the telephone shoe from Get Smart? Real or not? You’d have to kill me to find out.
