Science Museum opens espionage exhibit
London’s Science Museum has opened an interactive exhibition on the secrets of modern espionage.
Visitors to The Science of Spying exhibit are treated as trainee spies on a secret mission.
The Spying Training Base features a series of interactive challenges, including disguise‚ code breaking and lie-detection.
At the Technology Centre, which displays spy gadgets such as night vision goggles‚ spy planes and hidden cameras, guests can have a biometric face scan.
Harry Ferguson‚ former MI6 agent and presenter of the BBC2 programme SPY‚ was advisor on the exhibition and said: “The Science of Spying gives the whole family a taste of the equipment and techniques used in the world of modern espionage and the chance to find out what it’s like to become a real spy for the day.”
In addition, the museum is showcasing a conceptual mock-up cabin of the world’s first vehicle for space tourism – the Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo – which is being displayed in the UK for the first time.
The 9-metre mock-up of the passenger cabin will be on display until 23 February in the Antenna science news gallery. Details: www.sciencemuseum.org.uk
