 Cryptologic Museum reveals some, not all
The museum is one of the few peeks the public is allowed into the super-secret National Security Agency (NSA) at Fort Meade, an organization so sensitive that the government once denied its existence and still won't release its staffing and budget needs.
PARTICULARS: Adjacent to the museum are the National Vigilance Park and the Aerial Reconnaissance Memorial, dedicated in 1997 to honor crew members who lost their lives on reconnaissance missions.
With the museum's opening in December 1993, however, the agency has tried to dispel the conspiratorial rumors that have swirled about it for decades.

 The Story of the National Cryptologic Museum
The National Cryptologic Museum opened its doors on 15 July 1993.  Initially, entrance was limited to NSA employees and their families and to other members of the Intelligence Community.  We used the first few months to fine-tune our exhibits and to get used to giving tours and answering questions.
A museum gift shop operated by the NSA Civilian Welfare Fund using non-appropriated funds was opened in 1997.  The shop, which offers NSA logo shirts, hats, coffee cups, pens, etc., as well as related books and posters, generates funds used to purchase items for the museum collections.
During 2002, the NCM was host to over 50,000 visitors, with staff and docents giving more than 1,200 tours.  Dozens of primary, secondary, and university-level math, computer science, history, and language classes toured the exhibits.  Active-duty military and veterans groups continue to visit in large numbers, as do Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops.

 Acquisitions
The centerpiece of the new artifacts acquired in CY2004 for the National Cryptologic Museum is a pair of very rare five-rotor Hebern cipher machines.
Scale models of cryptographic items, rare photos of cryptologic sites and platforms, rare books and manuscripts on cryptology and models of cipher machines, wheels and discs are just a few of the items the Foundation and Museum would be very interested in helping you preserve for posterity.
One of the biggest challenges for any museum is the ability to rotate and refresh its displays on a periodic basis in order to attract repeat visitors to the museum.

The museum runs compelling short movies that tell some of the hair-raising tales of how Enigmas were captured and other fascinating stories of cryptologic derring-do.
The purpose of the museum, other than to entertain, is to give recognition to the faceless people who spend hours pouring over cryptic messages, and to the 152 others who were killed gathering secret information.
Another of the museum's intriguing exhibits is a replica of a Great Seal of the United States that was presented by Russian schoolchildren in 1946 to America's ambassador to Moscow, Averell Harriman, as a "token of friendship."

Friedman served as the top cryptanalyst for the Department of Defense after the war, and when the country's many cryptological resources were consolidated with the establishment of the National Security Agency, Friedman was named special assistant to the director.
Eventually, the department decided to set up a full-time cryptologic unit, which she ran for eighteen years (she later established cryptographic communication for the International Monetary Fund and the OSS, predecessor to the CIA).
He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors, and while a number of senators and generals were in attendance, the greatest tribute may have come from a handful of surprise guests.

Other Soviet Illegals are in the current release: the GRU Illegal MOK and various Illegals in the Mexico City messages (these included probably Spanish nationals and a Canadian, who probably were not Soviet citizens - a variation on the usual origin of Illegals).
Since the first release Of VENONA translations in July 1995, there have been many questions about the dates of the translations, their dissemination, and the means by which the covernames were identified.
