Name a Theater Seat at the Spy Museum

The International Spy Museum is excited to offer you a unique opportunity to support our mission while honoring your service or recognizing a loved one, a friend, or an organization that is important to you. By dedicating a theater seat in the SPY Theater, you will not only leave a legacy at the Museum but also contribute to the growth and development of our collections, exhibitions, and programs.

Sponsor a Seat

Each dedicated seat will feature a silver metal plaque, engraved with your personalized inscription, and will be permanently affixed to one of the plush red seats in the SPY Theater. In 2025, we plan to install an additional recognition display outside of the theater that will highlight all our Theater Seat Sponsors. This lasting tribute will be visible to the thousands of visitors who tour the Museum or attend one of our many programs.

Our SPY Theater has served as a gathering place for a diverse range of attendees—from high school students to scholars, from movie buffs to fans of espionage. With its beautiful stage, large screen, and perfect lighting, it is the ideal space for conversation, film screenings, lectures, panel discussions, and more.

“Having a seat among history brings new programs and helps build interest for our next generation”
– Martha Duncan, Advisory Council & Theater Seat Sponsor
