From 1st October to 27th November, the new special exhibition "Mata Hari, James Bond & Co – The World of Espionage Technology" will present tools, strategies and mechanisms for espionage from the 1960s until today. Visitors will learn about current and historic secret technologies in reality and fiction. From a poison amulet to the pistol inside a drill to a USB stick inside a fountain pen – the exhibition reflects the rapid changes in agent technology, its miniaturisation and technical perfection. In the areas "Observing and Eavesdropping", "Camouflaging and Deluding", "Tracing and Breaking In", "Communicating and Hiding" as well as "Destroying and Killing", visitors will gain an insight into the classic fields of activity of secret services. Popular worlds of imagination, influenced by legendary figures such as James Bond and Mata Hari, will be addressed. The initiators of the exhibition also establish a relationship with the dark sides of real life as an agent, e.g. dealing with dependence, interrogation, torture and death. An espionage camp for children and a series of evening lectures with special tours, lectures about the technology of Bond films and the sexual exploitation of women by the Stasi will accompany the exhibition. On 1st October, HNF cordially invites you to the museum night, which begins at 8 p.m. Let yourself be seduced by oriental temple dances á la Mata Hari, peer over the shoulder of safe and lock breakers and see a BMW from a James Bond film in action.
