WASHINGTON (AP) — The tiny Montana cabin where Unabomber Ted Kaczynski hid now stands a few blocks from the Washington headquarters of the FBI, which spent 17 years searching for him.

The ten-foot-by-12-foot cabin is on public display for the first time in the new exhibit "G-Men and Journalists: Top News Stories of the FBI's First Century," which opens Friday at the Newseum, a museum about the news.

When FBI agents found Kaczynski, they also found a live bomb in the cabin. Over nearly two decades, his homemade bombs killed three people and injured 23 others. Visitors can look inside the mostly bare cabin's front door and envision the Unabomber sleeping against the wall.

The cabin was stored in an FBI evidence facility after Kaczynski's bombing spree from 1978 to 1995. Kaczynski is serving a life sentence with no possibility of parole.

The exhibit features stories and artifacts from other memorable FBI investigations, including the Branch Davidian siege in Waco, Texas, the Oklahoma City bombing two years later and, more recently, the 2002 Washington-area sniper shootings.

The sniper section includes a replica of the car trunk used by John Allen Muhammad and teenage accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo in a shooting spree that left ten people dead. The two criminals hid and shot from the trunk of a Chevy Caprice.

Visitors to the exhibit will be greeted by a lifelike figure of the legendary Hoover himself, a wax statue on loan from Madame Tussauds wax museum.
