The Military Intelligence Museum 200, Chicksands, Clifton, Shefford SG17 5PR, UK

We are a small team here at the Military Intelligence Museum, with three main staff members, but we do have a great team of people helping us along the way. We have a wonderful group of volunteers who help with every aspect of the museum, and we're always looking to welcome more!

The Military Intelligence Museum displays key elements of the history of British Military Intelligence from the Boer War onwards.

The central focus of the museum is the Intelligence Corps, our collection includes a great many objects and special exhibits about the history of the Corps. We have two new interactive, permanent displays, one focusing on the Honours and Awards received by members of the Corps, and the other paying tribute to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their Sovereign and their country, in the 'Name of the Rose' interactive.

Another key collection is the Medmenham Collection devoted to aerial photography and image analysis. This highlights the use of 3D imagery, initially in the first World War and then again with huge success in later years, during World War II and the Cold War. 

Complementing these displays are two smaller displays. These cover the 'BRIXMIS' intelligence-gathering mission, based in East Germany during the Cold War, and the American radio operations that took place in Chicksands, from 1950 until 1996.

A further highlight is the SOE display housing a comprehensive collection of artifacts brought over from post-war France and displayed in an innovative diorama with touch-screen displays bringing it to life. This display also commemorates over 600 members of the Intelligence Corps who served in SOE. 

We have a small shop, selling intelligence-related books, Intelligence Corps memorabilia, and some cute teddy bears. 

There are two steps to the front door along with separate wheelchair access. There are soft chairs in every room so that visitors can sit and relax whilst listening to a tour guide or just contemplating a display.
