The International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. is in the southwest quadrant of town, not far from the National Mall. (The closest Metro station is L'Enfant Plaza, which is about a five minute walk to the museum.)

Now...given the glut of museums in the area -- most of which are free -- it might be a turn off for some to pay $25-30 to visit this one.

However, this museum is actually worth the price in terms of educational & entertainment value. Museums, at worst, are passive experiences, and at best, stimulate the senses. This one is interactive. (Caveat: If you're not technologically savvy -- like me -- you'll probably tune out of that aspect quickly; my "spy ID" didn't work well at all -- I guess? -- and finding some employee to help was harder than it should have been. This wasn't a huge loss, though.)

The museum has displays of famous spies, spying methodology, famous events (oftentimes as breakdowns in not heeding intelligence), and espionage in culture, all before funneling you through a well-stocked gift shop at the end of your tour.

If intelligence/spy tradecraft isn't of interest to you, this museum will be completely lost on you. If you have even a remote interest in it, you'll probably enjoy visiting here someday.
