We are taking all the fun and intrigue of our virtual Spies & Spymasters Happy Hours and pouring them into a live event! This not-so-clandestine affair is part of our epic anniversary celebration of SPY’s 20th Anniversary on July 19th. Join us after hours in the Museum for the spy mixer of your dreams—on the dossier: exclusive access to the exhibits, artifacts from the spy vault, delicious drinks, and a chance to meet some of the most interesting people who ever stepped out of the shadows!
Mingle with some of the coolest people we’ve had on camera and off over the last few years including Jonna Mendez, Jan Neumann, Eric O’Neill, Mubin Shaikh, Debra Evans Smith, Bob Wallace, Robert Ashley Jr., Farhana Qazi, Mary A. Legere, Dexter Ingram, Naveed Jamali, Mark Zaid, and Chris Costa to name a few. We’ll have your favorite historian Dr. Andrew Hammond; your beloved hosts Amanda Ohlke, Shana Oltmans, and Hannah Saloio; and a few surprise guests as well. Enjoy exclusive after-hours access to the Museum and “one-night-only” activities. You can ask the questions you have been dying to know about spy life or how the Museum got the coolest artifacts ever from the people who know.
Collections Manager Joanna Church will share some select spy treasures from the vault—these are artifacts not currently on display like the type of hat Trotsky’s private guards wore and a “how-to” kit showing you how to turn your handbag into a concealed camera! And don’t get us started on the slightly risqué Flying FANY sign…Maybe you are just in it for a photo op clinking glasses with spy royalty. No judgement here! As part of this evening, you’ll have access to a digital dossier to help you spot our elusive experts as they mingle in the galleries.
Two drinks are included—you can choose from signature cocktails, wine, beer, or non-alcoholic options. Cash bar to follow. Don’t worry if you are a hungry agent, we’ll have a few snacks for peckish operatives as well.
