Designing 007 – 50 Years of Bond Style

Overview

In his most recent big-screen adventure, the mission of globetrotting super-spy James Bond took him to Istanbul, Macau and the misty Scottish highlands. But now the world’s suavest (and least secret) secret agent will finally make it to Australia, with an exhibit at the Melbourne Museum set to display some of the most iconic weapons, vehicles, outfits and gadgets from 007’s 50 year career.

Organised in collaboration with EON Productions and the Barbican Centre in London, Designing 007 – 50 Years of Bond Style showcases more than 400 props from the blockbuster franchise's 23 films. Just a few of the highlights include Jaws’ teeth from The Spy Who Loved Me, Scaramanga’s golden gun and Bond’s beloved Aston Martin. The curators were unfortunately unable to get their hands on Ursula Andress’ bikini from Dr. No, so that famous piece of swimwear appears only as a replica. On the plus side, Daniel Craig’s actual budgie smugglers from Casino Royale will be proudly on display.
