The Montana cabin where Unabomber Ted Kaczynski hid is now on display a few blocks from the Washington headquarters of the FBI, which spent 17 years searching for him.

The 10-by-12-foot cabin is on display for the first time in the new exhibit "G-Men and Journalists: Top News Stories of the FBI's First Century," which opens today 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 and envision the Unabomber sleeping against the wall.

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