I was most interested in the historical artifacts and lessons to be learned, but in order to make the place less of a stuffy old museum, there was a big focus on James Bond's spy gadgets (but they managed to make it factual too by comparing them to actual gadgets, or what they were based on, or what the technology eventually became.) There was "something for everyone" and for all ages/all interest levels.
