PRIME TIME TRIP TO THE KGB ESPIONAGE MUSEM
The KGB Espionage Museum is the only public museum in the world that focuses entirely on the espionage operations carried out by the KGB. It shows the secret history of a clandestine organization that has had an enduring and far-reaching influence on world affairs. The museum showcases a never-before-seen collection of one-of-a-kind items, many of which are only now being made public. The KGB Espionage Museum reveals the secret lives of prominent KGB agents, uncovering the strategies beneath many of history’s top secret espionage operations.
