I think what is really exciting
about this exhibition
is that it is happening
to coincide with the 50th
golden anniversary of James Bond.
We have had unprecedented access
to the archive.
90% of the content is original
but we decided to recreate
*** Galore’s gold waistcoat
as absolutely you know
as exactly as we could
to the photographs that we could find
and the screen grabs
that we could use to do it.
And we also decide to recreate
Goldfinger’s dreadful golden tuxedo
that he wears while lasering Bond.
We tried to create the spaces
in some sort of logical way,
so we start in the Gold Room
which is almost a gathering room
to remember the success of Bond.
We move into Ian Fleming’s Room
which is a very small room,
we move from there into M’s Room
which is quite tricky
and I am not going to give it away.
But it’s a room where
you imagine that Bond is being given
his identity.
Move from that room
into Q’s Lab
which is a fabulous room
where we have all of the
gadgets themed.
We tried to pick things,
there is at least 50% or more
I think that haven’t been seen before.
Lots of interest for different people
gadgety people, costumey people.
It’s good.
