Top Secret: License to Spy Exhibition opens Sept. 15 at the National Museum of the US Air Force
Visitors to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force can go undercover and enter a world of coded messages and satellite surveillance when they take on the role of a secret agent in the latest special exhibition, Top Secret: License to Spy, coming Sept. 15.
Admission to Top Secret is free to all museum visitors and open daily from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Sept. 15 - Dec. 16.
Based around a James Bond-style fantasy of exotic locations, high-tech equipment and, of course, a mystery to solve, Top Secret: License to Spy focuses on the science and technology of spying and espionage.
According to National Museum of the U.S. Air Force Director David Tillotson, the museum is always looking to engage visitors of all ages with unique experiences, and this exhibit certainly fits that bill.
“Top Secret: License to Spy offers an exciting hands-on opportunity for all visitors to test their skills in collaboration and problem solving,” he said. “Families, educators and youth groups will not want to miss it!”
While in the exhibition, museum visitors are challenged to gather the intelligence needed to achieve their mission by breaking codes, uncovering microdots, using spy satellites and creating elusive disguises.
Scitech CEO Deb Hancock says “The exhibition is designed to be used in a cooperative fashion to encourage group participation. Even James Bond needs the support of a ‘Q’ and a ‘M’ to fulfill his missions, and we look forward to welcoming plenty of ‘double 0’s’ in-training.”
Top Secret will amaze kids and adults alike with behind-the-scenes glimpse of an undercover world that has been re-created with life-like sets and activities. Science has never been so….Top Secret!
Tom Zaller, CEO of Imagine Exhibitions shared, “Imagine Exhibitions is proud to partner with Scitech to bring Top Secret to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Diving into the mind of a secret agent to learn about the world of spies and espionage is a really fun way to engage visitors and encourage them to learn about cool, cutting-edge technologies being used today.”
