"The International Spy Museum will unveil its newest special exhibit, " Camouflage: Designed to Deceive," on March 1. The museum has previously featured artifacts that used elements of camouflage, like the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish with "adaptive camouflage" that appeared in the 2024 exhibit "Bond in Motion."

The International Spy Museum will open a special exhibit, "Camouflage: Designed to Deceive," on March 1 and will display the installation for three years. The exhibit presents artifacts from nature and technology and traces camouflage's history from early natural forms to modern applications. The presentation is organized around four scientific principles — to disappear, to distort, to disguise, and to deceive — and guides visitors through a 45-minute walk-through featuring memorabilia, historical artifacts (including World War 1 items), military uniforms, and immersive experiences. The museum partnered with Cortina Productions to create mixed live-action and video-game environments. Visitors can design their own camo patterns. Tickets are $15 standalone or $13 as an add-on.
