If you like your Cold War history shaken, not stirred, check out the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History鈥檚 2026 Spyglass Festival. The three-day event, which begins Thursday, Jan. 15, will feature spy games, secret-agent movie nights and more.

鈥淲e were thrilled to get a grant from the Visit Albuquerque tourism grant program to launch an event that will bring people to Albuquerque,鈥� Bernadette C. Robin, the museum鈥檚 director of communication, said. 鈥淲e know, from the museum itself, that there鈥檚 great interest in espionage and spies.鈥�

The festival kicks off Thursday evening with a special presentation by retired CIA Senior Operations Officer David Kitchen on the hidden history of the Manhattan Project 鈥� the top-secret government program to develop the first atomic weapons during World War II. Kitchen鈥檚 presentation is part of the museum鈥檚 Science on Tap series, and admission includes one free beverage from Bombs Away Brewery.

鈥淎 lot of people know the Manhattan Project from the science and engineering aspect. Some probably know about the espionage, but I spent 33 years as an operations officer in the CIA 鈥� so I want to share my viewpoint on what happened in the Manhattan Project from an intelligence standpoint,鈥� Kitchen said. 鈥淲hat I want to do is take a look at what made them good spies. What were they motivated by? What kind of access did they have? What kind of tradecraft did they use?鈥�

According to Kitchen, the three elements that make a good spy are motivation, suitability and access. But one of the main requirements of the job is the ability to remain undetected.

鈥淭he James Bond/Jason Bourne image makes for great movies, but in 33 years, I never met anybody (in the CIA) who would fit those criteria,鈥� Kitchen said. 鈥淚n fact, we used to teach that James Bond was a horrible spy, because everyone knew who he was.鈥�

In contrast to the Hollywood image, most real-life intelligence assets aspire to become a 鈥済ray man,鈥� someone whose appearance and actions are utterly unremarkable.

鈥淚t鈥檚 the person at a cocktail party who blends into the shadows and talks to few people. At the end of the party, if people were asked, 鈥榃ho do you remember?,鈥� they never mention his name,鈥� Kitchen said. 鈥淎 lot of the Manhattan Project assets were like that. They were low-key, unassuming people, who, when what they did was revealed, it came as a shock to everyone who knew them.鈥�

On the second evening of the festival, there will be a free screening of the 2015 historical thriller, 鈥淏ridge of Spies,鈥� directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks. Francis Gary Powers Jr., the son of the real-life U-2 pilot portrayed in 鈥淏ridge of Spies,鈥� will introduce the film. Afterward, Powers will sign copies of 鈥淪py Pilot,鈥� a book he co-authored about his father鈥檚 extraordinary life.

鈥淗e spent 25 years researching his father鈥檚 life to correct the public record,鈥� Robin said.

On Saturday, the museum will offer free admission and a full day of family-friendly, espionage-themed programming, including an invisible ink demonstration.

鈥淲e鈥檒l have artifacts that are usually kept in storage for different reasons, and we鈥檒l have hands-on activities, vendors from New Mexico True (the state鈥檚 tourism campaign) and food trucks,鈥� Robin said. 鈥淭hen, we鈥檒l close that evening with an event we鈥檝e done before called Nuclear After Dark. This time, there will be an espionage game. And we鈥檒l be showing a short documentary by Larry Sheffield (and Trent DiGiulio), called 鈥楢lamogordo, Center of the World, Trinity 1945.鈥欌��

Sheffield and DiGiulio鈥檚 award-winning documentary explores the history of the Manhattan Project and the Trinity testing site.

鈥淕iven New Mexico鈥檚 history with the Atomic Age, we are in the perfect place, so we hope people come visit us,鈥� Robin said.
