SPYSCAPE is dominated by dark tones, creating an atmosphere of spies on a mission. The museum features seven themed spaces, showcasing topics such as deception, surveillance, hacking, and intelligence—all presented through digital multimedia. Interactive screens are placed throughout the exhibition areas to offer intelligence games, and even the museum’s signage is designed in encrypted form, with surprises hidden in every detail.
