It is perhaps the most unusual museum as it is filled with artifacts that have shaped world history. However, he keeps the doors closed.

It is the only place where a visitor can find the weapon Osama Bin Laden was carrying when he was killed or Saddam Hussein's leather jacket.

Welcome to the secret CIA museum!

This museum is located at the intelligence agency's headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Recently, the collection has been renewed on the occasion of the agency's 75th anniversary. A small group of journalists were given the opportunity to witness what is inside this top secret museum. Among the 600 objects on display are Cold War spy equipment, a 'dead mouse' in which messages can be hidden, a hidden camera inside a cigarette pack, a pigeon with its own spy camera and even a exploding martini glass.

There are also details from some of the most famous and recent CIA operations. On display is a model of the compound where Osama bin Laden was discovered in Pakistan. President Barack Obama was shown such a model before approving the raid that killed the al-Qaeda leader in 2011.

"Being able to see things in 3D actually helped the policy makers ... as well as helped our agents plan the mission," explained Robert Byer.

On July 30 of this year, an American missile hit another complex, this time in the Afghan capital, Kabul. The target was al-Qaeda's new leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri. For this case, President Joe Biden was informed, just like in the case of Osama Bin Laden, with a 3D model, which has already been placed in the museum. Zawahiri was shot while on the balcony after US intelligence agents spent months studying his movements.

The first half of the museum is built in chronological order from the founding of the CIA in 1947, the Cold War, the attacks of September 11, 2001. The museum's audience is generally CIA staff themselves as well as official visitors. But it doesn't just focus on success. There is a section for failed operations. For example when a CIA mission to overthrow Fidel Castro in Cuba went disastrously wrong. There are also references to the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

"This museum is not just about history. It is an operational museum. We're taking CIA officers and exploring our own history, good and bad," Byer said.

While the second part of the museum is focused on the details of some more specific operations. In the late 1960s a submarine of the Soviet Union was lost in the ocean. After the US intelligence services found it, the CIA worked together with billionaire Howard Hughes to try to get the remains and technology that had been used on this submarine. The mission was partially accomplished after the submarine split in half. Despite this, the CIA was able to salvage some parts. A model of the submarine has been displayed in the museum.

"Most of what was found aboard that submarine is still classified to this day," says Byer.

The museum also has items that were used to construct the fake story for a film called Argo to rescue diplomats in Iran after the 1979 revolution. Later, this case was made into a movie in Hollywood. On display is concept art for the fake film the rescue team claimed to be making. This picture was created to be deliberately difficult to decipher or understand.

And when it comes to deciphering, the ceiling of the museum also contains messages hidden in different types of codes. CIA officials say the ambition is to share the images with the public on social media to see if they can decipher them.

Some of the exhibits will also be available to view online. But for now, this might be the closest most people get to seeing this museum.
