Season’s greetings from the DEA Museum! The 2022 holiday schedule is now available. Navigate your way to a new experience and plan your visit today.

The Museum’s traveling exhibit Drugs: Costs and Consequences is back on the road, touring the United States. On September 7, 2022, the exhibit opened at the West Virginia State Museum in Charleston. Its eye-opening, interactive, and updated displays will welcome visitors through January 2023, when it’s off to its next destination: Albany, Georgia.

Loops, whorls, and arches, oh my! In August, the Museum hosted its first in-person fingerprinting program in its reimagined education space. Students participated in one of two new hands-on programs on the science and history behind DEA’s work.

In the mid-1990s, DEA unveiled a Wall of Honor memorializing employees who died in the line of duty. Retired Special Agent Richard Barrett tracked down eight portraits missing from the display, recovering the last image in 2022.
