Jiangsu National Security Education Museum – Nanjing, China
China opened its spy museum in 2009. It was closed to outsiders in its first year for fear of revealing national secrets, but now it is open to the public. There is, however, no detail about the museum, and there aren’t many artifact images. The Los Angeles Times reports that the museum is packed with propaganda from the Chinese Communist Party warning people about the CIA. The museum focuses more on recruitment than on spy nostalgia.
Lascaux Caves – France
These ancient caves, found in 1940, were the best examples cave art discovered by four young French adults and their dog. While open to the public, in 1963, thousands of visitors were closed due to exposure to humidity and carbon dioxide. Fortunately, with a total cost of $64 million, the French Government re-created the cave. The original paintings are over 20,000 years old, which only scientists can see.
