Spy Fi Archives: 40 Years of TV and Movie Spy Fiction -- CIA
http://www.odci.gov/spy_fi/index.html

This new site is a companion to the Central Intelligence Agency's
Fine Arts Commission's physical exhibition of selections from Danny
Biederman's private collection of over 4,000 items related to movie
and TV spy fiction. The online exhibit features images and (some)
descriptions of 26 items from television shows such as _The Man From
U.N.C.L.E._, _The Avengers_, _Get Smart_, _Mission Impossible_, and
_Wild Wild West_, and movies such as _Our Man Flint_, _Dr. No_, and
_Austin Powers_. This unique and entertaining collection is a nice
diversion for any fan of pop culture spy TV shows and movies.


The Bureau of Atomic Tourism
http://www.atomictourist.com/

This travel guide fills a very specific niche, offering travel
information on "tourist locations around the world that have either
been the site of atomic explosions, display exhibits on the
development of atomic devices, or contain vehicles that were designed
to deliver atomic weapons." These are divided into two categories:
Atomic Museums and Sites of Atomic Explosions. Even those not
specifically planning an Atomo-centric getaway may find numerous
items of interest. For instance, on reviewing the site, I discovered
that Bikini Atoll is now considered one of the world's foremost dive
destinations, with its ghost fleet of ships sunk in A- and H-Bomb
tests. Descriptions of each location include an overview, what you'll
see, public tours dates and times, and how to get there. Links to
official and/or related sites are also provided.
