Have you seen the "Skyfall" movie about the adventures of James Bond? 🕶 Surely you remember the terrible antagonist, the character of Javier Bordem. He was a MI6 spy and used a deadly cyanide tooth to kill himself. But the poison did not kill him, but only dissolved the bones of his jaw 🦷 Very creepy scene. BUT unfortunately not quite right. Cyanide does not have such properties, its victim dies due to oxygen starvation at the cellular level 💀 And the tooth is not made entirely of poison. The dentist creates a “box” of your own tooth so that you can put poison there only if necessary. In our museum you can see a REAL tooth from a REAL KGB agent❗️❗️❗️ #jamesbond #bond #skyfall #spymuseum

Rectal concealment. You know where it should be ✊ It allows you to bring microfilm, poison, currency and much more small things unnoticed 🤫 Even to the most checked places. If you are a spy, you must be prepared to go until the end to hide your secrets 🕵🏻‍♀️ In our museum you can see a real rectal concealment❗️❗️❗️ #kgbespionagemuseum #spymuseum #spygadgets #newyork #ussr #spyequipment

The radio station "Rion". Like most radio stations of the 50s, the "Rion" is very large and heavy. It helps to move this station unnoticed because it looks like a suitcase 🧳 BUT this suitcase weighs more than 55 pounds, so a good KGB spy had to have good muscles 💪 #kgbspy #spymuseum

Ring concealment. It will help you transfer micro film through the airport, train station or other places where you can be searched 🕵🏻‍♀️ It is also a very convenient place for poison 💀 Dexterous movement over the plate of your enemy and the problem is solved. In our museum you can look very closely at this artifact 👀 #kgbespionagemuseum #museumnyc

Who can be suspicious just sitting and reading a book? We can often see people with books across from us in the subway or in the park. But you don’t realize that the KGB camera may be hidden inside the book 📸 #kgbespionagemuseum #museum #newyorkcity
