HOURS UPDATE: The Durham Museum will be closed Friday (11/15) for a private event.

A “Top Secret” Summer Adventure awaits you at The Durham Museum

Secret agents, suspects and science converge for a family adventure unlike anything you’ve experienced
in Top Secret: License to Spy! This highly interactive display will put visitors’ skills to the test as you experience the
science, technology and psychology employed in the intelligence field.
Created by the renowned Scitech in Perth, Australia, and 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 features an immersive way for visitors
to interact with more than 20 displays as they progress through the exhibition. Upon arrival, each visitor receives a “Spy
File” containing a scenario and a list of six suspects. The visitor is challenged with gathering intelligence from selected
exhibits to uncover information on the suspects, leading them on a journey of discovery, puzzles and intrigue. Hands-on
activities include cracking the code on the lock of a transparent safe and using an oscilloscope to find a hidden bug.
Visitors will also use a night vision camera to see in the dark and dodge laser beams without setting off alarms. Never
before has an exhibit been so…Top Secret!
The exhibit is supported locally by Valmont Industries, Inc., HDR, Inc., Douglas County Visitor Improvement Fund,
Patterson Family Foundation, On Track Guild and Iowa West Foundation. Media support provided by KETV Channel 7.
