The CIA Museum, inside the CIA Headquarters building in Langley, is not open to the public. Dr. Don Wyman, a CIA retiree, recently was given both a special 2-hour private tour by the museum director and also, exclusive permission and clearance for creating this special PowerPoint "Private Tour" of the museum. This unique tour includes many espionage artifacts never before made public, reveals some declassified, previously top-secret intelligence operations, and identifies some of the brave people who carried them out.

A completely different tour with totally different artifacts whose background stories are revealed and colorfully illustrated by a CIA Retiree who was in the Agency when most of these events were happening. This is Part 2 of an ongoing series that will contain, as they are declassified, new clandestine items and missions previously highly classified in full color and with unique illustrations created to show how they were carried out. It reveals two of the most expensive operations in CIA history!
