The Newseum will open “Inside Today’s FBI: Fighting Crime in the Age of Terror,” next Friday at its museum in Washington, D.C.

The new version of its popular FBI exhibit features never-before-displayed evidence and artifacts from some of the FBI’s biggest cases. In the post-9/11 era, the bureau’s top priorities are terrorists, spies and cybercriminals, stalked with powerful new surveillance technologies.

The exhibit features behind-the-scene information about how the FBI investigated everything from the Boston Marathon bombing to the Internet’s sinister Silk Road.

As the nation’s top crime-fighting force embarks on its second century, the exhibit will explore how the FBI detects and disrupts terrorists both at home and abroad, and thwarts powerful cyber criminals who steal data and money.
