International Spy Museum – Spying Launched a Nation

The newly renovated Spying Launched a Nation exhibit at the International Spy Museum centers around George Washington’s letter to Nathaniel Sackett establishing America’s first civilian spy ring. The exhibit was reenvisioned to appeal to multigenerational visitors and give the physical letter new life through an immersive and layered storytelling experience. The new exhibit fills a 270-degree presentation space with the sights and sounds of the Revolutionary War. The 5-minute multidimensional film plays out on 8 surfaces and features original reenactment shooting, animation and motion graphics, dynamic text, and Hamilton star Christopher Jackson as the host. Cortina Productions helped the Spy Museum reinvigorate the story of George Washington as the nation’s first spymaster and the important people who helped win America’s independence.
