Spies Family Hub

Spies, Lies and Deception is a free, family-friendly exhibition at Imperial War Museum North about deception and espionage from the First World War to the present day.

In the undercover world of spies, lies and deception, nothing is what it seems. Everyone has something to hide. Explore how daring plots of deception have changed the course of conflict, how spies have been exposed and the costs of being both the deceiver and the deceived.

Young recruits can visit the “Mission Room” to embark on a top-secret exhibition trail, piecing together information to find out if they have what it takes to succeed in the world of spies. This exhibition will take between 45 and 60 minutes to enjoy as part of your visit to IWM North.

Come in and find out what it takes to survive and thrive in this hidden world.
