Australian Spy Museum

Vision and Mission

The Australian Spy Museum holds the largest private collection of spycraft artefacts in the southern hemisphere, from the Renaissance through to the modern age. This includes cipher machines, spycraft and counter-intelligence equipment, relics from the Berlin Wall, uniforms, awards, a library of rare books, original documents, signed photographs, and more.

Our mission – is to collect, preserve and share artefacts and stories from the intriguing history of espionage, and origins of modern threats.

Our vision – is to establish an independent publicly-accessible museum – a home to protect these artefacts, display them in context, and deliver our educational programs.

Corporate Events

We have developed some eye-opening and inspiring presentations for government and corporates.

These unique-in-the-world talks use genuine espionage artefacts to bring to life WWII codebreaking and the birth of cyber, the nature of nation state threat actors, and the unsung role of women in security.

These are unforgettable experiences that your clients will talk about for years to come.
