The venue’s displays include the Manhattan Project and the Cold War, giving Spyglass Festival: Spies in the Skies a nuclear-history setting for its espionage theme. The listing does not say whether the festival will connect those subjects.
The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History covers the Atomic Age, from early nuclear development and the Cold War to peaceful uses of nuclear technology. Its permanent and changing displays include The Atomic Pioneers, Nuclear Medicine, Energy Encounters, the Manhattan Project, Atomic Pop Culture and Little Albert’s Lab. The museum also describes Heritage Park as an outdoor area with aircraft and other large artifacts. These are useful clues to the venue’s broader collection, not confirmation that any of those exhibits or outdoor displays will be part of the festival.
The museum says it was established in 1969, is a Smithsonian Affiliate and was designated by Congress in 1991 as the United States’ official Atomic Museum. That institutional focus helps explain the setting; the festival announcement does not describe a historical link between its spy theme and the museum’s collections.
