ESPIONAGE MUSEUM PLANNED FOR WASHINGTON
A Cleveland-based company said it intends to open "the largest
permanent exhibit dedicated to the history of espionage" in
downtown Washington by the spring of 2002.
"Spying has a resonance, a mystique about it," Dennis Barrie, a
former Smithsonian curator who's heading the effort, told The
Washington Post.
"We want to peel away that surface....We intend to give a
historical perspective, but we also want to immerse people in a
sense of time and space," he said. The firm, Malrite Co., plans
to house the International Spy Museum in 58,000 square feet of
renovated space near the National Portrait Gallery.
Unlike most museums in Washington, the privately-owned project
will be a for-profit venture, the newspaper said. Visitors will
be charged admission, about $8.
Some of the items on display will be on loan from H. Keith
Melton, an espionage artifacts collector, historian and technical
adviser on the Malrite project. "The general public really has no
idea about real spying," said Melton.
"Unfortunately, they've seen too many Oliver Stone movies and
think the CIA's a big shooting gallery where they train
assassins...We want to show how the world we live in has been
crafted through the work of spies." The CIA has been kept abreast
of the Malrite project, but has not officially endorsed it,
spokesman Mark Mansfield said. But the project did involve a CIA
employee who acted as a private consultant.
