National Museum of Intelligence and Special Operations
The National Museum of Intelligence and Special Operations is a future private museum in the United States, planned for the area of Ashburn, Virginia.[1] As a private museum project of The Office of Strategic Services Society, it was recognized in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023.
The museum was designed by architect Curtis Fentress with roughly 14,000 square feet (1,300 m2) of exhibit space, a 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) lobby, and 200-seat educational space.[1]
Charles Pinck of the OSS Society says they plan to break ground on the museum in July 2025 with a target for opening in late 2027.[2] The project is estimated to be in the area of $81 million.[3]
