Curator's Corner: Robert Hanssen - An Inside View with Eric O'Neill

Join us for an online discussion of one of the most damaging spies in US history. Spy Museum Historian and Curator Vince Houghton talks with Eric O’Neill about the worst boss he ever had: Robert Hanssen. As a young operative in the FBI, Eric O’Neill was assigned to watch his boss…very carefully.

Veteran FBI agent Robert Hanssen was suspected of being a spy for Russia. O’Neill was young, but he had a background in surveillance and rose to the challenge. His experience was made into the riveting 2007 movie Breach* with Ryan Phillipe staring as O’Neill and he’s recently written Gray Day: My Undercover Mission to Expose America’s First Cyber Spy.

Houghton and O’Neill will discuss the case and how it fits into the International Spy Museum’s Turncoats & Traitors gallery. They’ll take a look at some of the key artifacts on view…and some that aren’t!
