Spies fascinate us. For thousands of years, people have gathered secret information, protected their own secrets and moved in the shadows between truth and deception.
In the 2026 season, Maritiman opens the doors to a brand-new exhibition about espionage. Here, real-world intelligence work, historical spies and authentic missions meet the most iconic spy figures from film, games and popular culture.
The exhibition offers compelling stories, unexpected perspectives and hands-on challenges where children can test their own spy skills. A world filled with mystery, cunning and secrets – for the whole family.
Realm of Shadows – an exhibition about real-world spies and popular culture representations of espionage throughout history.
Opening 2 April 2026.
