The curators of ‘Designing 007 - Fifty Years of Bond Style’ have gone to great lengths to ensure that the ethos of the original Bond in books and celluloid is respected. Visitors are greeted by the sight of a life-size, waxwork Sean Connery, for example, and there’s also a surprisingly realistic Shirley Eaton as ‘Jill Masterson’, gold-painted, lying dead on a bed.
From now until 5 September, they are joined by Ursula Andress’s famous white bikini, Scaramanga’s golden gun and 400 other exhibits from the great days of 007.
The exhibition has already received enthusiastic reviews in the media and is clearly something not to be missed.
