Now that the exhibit run has come to an end, we would like to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone that made it possible for us to bring Top Secret: License to Spy to the Knowlton Museum this year!

To every single guest that walked through our doors - we loved seeing your smiling faces, talking with you, and helping you crack the case!

To all of the schools/organizations that sent field trip groups - we had a blast playing spy with all of your kiddos! Thank you for choosing us.

To the Knowlton Family, the Port Huron Museums, the Community Foundation of St. Clair County, and to all of our sponsors - your support and generosity made this all possible. We could not have done any of this without you!

Thank you to everyone for coming on this mission with us!! 🕵

Did you know the original animated Disney movie “Alice in Wonderland” was released on this day in London in 1951? It was considered a disappointment but was re-released in 1974 to wide success. 🫖🐰🕐

One of the codes here at Top Secret: License to Spy uses words from Lewis Carroll’s book which inspired the film to create a message. Visit our interactive spy exhibit here at the Knowlton and you can try to decode it!
