==Legacy== ===Museum exhibition=== [[File:Plakboek mata hari.JPG|thumb|Scrapbook of Mata Hari in the Frisian Museum in Leeuwarden, Netherlands]] [[File:Mata Hari.jpg|thumb|upright|Statue of Mata Hari in Leeuwarden, Netherlands]] The Frisian museum (Dutch: [[Fries Museum]]) in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, contains a "Mata Hari Room". Included in the exhibit are two of her personal scrapbooks and an oriental rug embroidered with the footsteps of her fan dance.<ref name="sameshield1">{{Cite web |title=Women Spies: Mata Hari |url=http://www.sameshield.com/spies/hari.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030513140111/http://www.sameshield.com/spies/hari.html |archive-date=13 May 2003 }}</ref> Located in Mata Hari's native town, the museum is well known for researching the life and career of Leeuwarden's world-famous citizen. The largest-ever Mata Hari exhibition was opened in the Museum of Friesland on 14 October 2017, one hundred years after her death. Mata Hari's birthplace is located in the building at Kelders 33. The building suffered smoke and water damage during a fire in 2013 but was later restored. Architect Silvester Adema studied old drawings of the storefront to reconstruct it as it appeared when Adam Zelle, the father of Mata Hari, had a hat shop there. In 2016, an information centre (''belevingscentrum'') was created in the building displaying mementos of Mata Hari.<ref name=LC-2016-02-03>{{cite web |url=http://www.lc.nl/friesland/Geboortehuis-Mata-Hari-als-%E2%80%98belevingscentrum-21127477.html |title=Geboortehuis Mata Hari als 'belevingscentrum' (Mata Hari's birthplace as information centre) |newspaper=Leeuwarder Courant |author=Asing Walthaus |date=3 February 2017 |access-date=17 August 2017 |language=NL |quote=[Translated]A hairdressing business owned by Wyb en Wilma Feddema was in the building at the Kelders 33 until the 2013 fire. The store already had some posters about Mata Hari. ... Architect Silvester Adem, based on drawings and old images, reconstructed the shop façade of the hat shop of Adam Zelle, the father of Margarethe. [There were] two window displays, door in the middle and nearby another door to the apartments. That entrance was previously at the back of the building. There is again a hairdresser and an 'experience centre' (belevingscentrum) about Mata Hari. A beamer projects a lantern-like movie of forty minutes with slides and film fragments on the white wall; there are showcases, pictures, and a large table with everything about Mata Hari, from liqueur to bonbons.}}</ref> ===In popular culture=== {{in popular culture|date=April 2024}} [[File:The Execution of Mata Hari.jpg|thumb|Execution scene from 1920 film about Mata Hari<ref>{{cite book |url= https://archive.org/details/traitorsturncoat0000crof/page/131 |last=Crofton |first=Ian |year=2009 |title=Traitors & Turncoats: Twenty Tales of Treason from Benedict Arnold to Ezra Pound |place=London |publisher=Quercus |isbn=978-1848660113 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/traitorsturncoat0000crof/page/131 131] |oclc=298185611}}</ref> |alt=]] The idea of an exotic dancer working as a lethal double agent [[honeypots in espionage fiction|using her powers of seduction to extract military secrets]] from her many lovers made Mata Hari an enduring archetype of the ''femme fatale''.<ref>{{cite book |last=Samuels |first=Diane |year=2002 |title=The True Life Fiction of Mata Hari |place= |publisher=Nick Hern Books |isbn=978-1854596727 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=38sRN2MO4NgC&pg=PR15}}</ref> ====Films==== * ''Mata Hari'' (1920) * [[Mata Hari (1927 film)|''Mata Hari'']] (1927), a German production * [[Mata Hari (1931 film)|''Mata Hari'']] (1931), a Hollywood motion picture starring [[Greta Garbo]] * In the 1939 romantic comedy [[Cafe Society (1939 film)|''Cafe Society'']], Mattie Harriett is hired by [[Allyn Joslyn]]'s gossip columnist to spy on the film's two protagonists, [[Fred MacMurray]] and [[Madeleine Carroll]].<ref>{{cite book |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=IbpwDl1nt0MC&dq=%22lillian+yarbo%22&pg=PA34 |last=Nissen |first=Alex |year=2007 |title=Actresses of a Certain Character: Forty Familiar Hollywood Faces from the Thirties to the Fifties |place=Jefferson |publisher=McMillan and Company |page=34 |isbn=978-0-7864-2746-8}}</ref> * ''[[Mata Hari, Agent H21]]'' (1964) with Jeanne Moreau as Mata-Hari, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Claude Rich, Jean-Pierre Leaud, Marie Dubois, and Charles Denner, directed by Jean-Louis Richard * In the 1967 James Bond spoof [[Casino Royale (1967 film)|''Casino Royale'']], [[Joanna Pettet]] played Mata Bond, said to be the daughter of James Bond and Mata Hari. * In the 1966 Doris Day movie, The Glass Bottom Boat, Doris Day is portrayed in a dream sequence as Mata Hari, a femme fatale come to steal national secrets from the male lead. * In the 1968 Spanish comedy {{lang|es-ES|Operación Mata Hari}}, Mata Hari ([[Carmen de Lirio]]) retires with an accountant and her Spanish maid Guillermina ([[Gracita Morales]]) impersonates her in an espionage imbroglio.<ref name="ABC">{{cite news |title=Operación Mata Hari (1968) Película - PLAY Cine |url=https://www.abc.es/play/pelicula/operacion-mata-hari-21379/ |access-date=15 March 2022 |work=ABC |date=28 March 2017 |language=es}}</ref> * In the 1970 American series ''[[Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp]]'', a chimpanzee named "Mata Hairi" plays the role of a secret agent, voiced by [[Joan Gerber]]. * In the 1972 British comedy film ''[[Up the Front]]'', [[Zsa Zsa Gabor]] portrays Mata Hari. * ''Mata Hari'' (1981), television series * "Mata Hari; The Magic Camera", an episode of ''[[Fantasy Island]]'' (1982) * [[Mata Hari (1985 film)|''Mata Hari'']], a 1985 film * In "Paris, October 1916", a 1993 episode of ''[[The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles]]'', she is portrayed by [[Domiziana Giordano]].
