Smoked glass, glowing lights, corten steel, and fiber cement set the space for the interactive spy museum, SPYSCAPE, inviting the visitors to immerse into the world of espionage. Designed by Adjaye Associates, a range of interactive spy-themed exhibitions are housed in this 60,000-square-foot museum, located two blocks from the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.Upon entering the museum, each visitor is assigned one of 11 spy identites including hacker, cryptologist, or intelligence analyst. Through interactive exhibitions and spy-themed challenges, the visitors learn how to identify lies, snake their way through laser tripwires, or complete a surveillance mission, noted ArchDaily.The museum space also houses more than 1,000 rare spy books in its book store, a café, and a gift shop. Lucy Tilley, Associate Director for Adjaye Associates, said: “It has been exciting to work with a client as truly innovative as SPYSCAPE.
