Drug Enforcement Administration

DEA Museum

Located at the Drug Enforcement Administration’s federal headquarters, the DEA Museum tells the history and science behind the agency’s collaborative work. Life-sized video portraits stand proud down the center of the space and detail the professions of the federal personnel who have sworn to protect and serve the American public. Bold, powerful graphics and crime scene evidence reveal the cyclical hold of each drug strain on the American public.

Dynamic digital and mechanical interactives provide visitors of all ages opportunities to explore the science and technologies that advance the work combatting drug-related crimes. Case studies let visitors follow agents’ in action — and even take on a case or two alongside the team.

An education room replete with a wall-sized graphic novel, compelling video testimonials, and interactive panels engages the teen audience on the realities of drug use, addiction, and recovery.
