Dark alleys, men in trench coats, the sounds of whispers and the smell of burning cigarettes—these are the images of espionage (at least in the eyes of Hollywood). The truth, as is usually the case, is far less glamorous. Explore reality in Muzeo’s latest exhibit “Spies, Traitors & Saboteurs: Fear and Freedom in America,” illustrating the beauty of our nation’s covert operations and the challenges of securing safety without compromising our constitutionally-awarded civil liberties. Created by the International Spy Museum, this exhibit gives visitors a glimpse inside the forgotten files of domestic terrorists and foreign agents, and tells the cryptic tales of espionage, treason, counterintelligence and deception that threatened America’s security from the time of our nation’s founding. Bring your decoder ring and remember to be careful who you trust.
