Something is coming to the Spy Museum in D.C. that’s going to “shake” things up and cause a “stir” among visitors and film buffs alike.
The exhibit will feature 17 full-sized vehicles that were used in the 60 years of James Bond films.
The temporary exhibit opens March 1 and gives Bond enthusiasts a chance to see the iconic rides, such as the Aston Martin Vanquish from 2002’s “Die Another Day.” While it will not turn invisible, it sports props such as automated shotguns and stinger missiles.
The Aston Martin DBS driven by Daniel Craig in 鈥淨uantum of Solace鈥� (2008) will also be on display, showing scratches and a missing door to reflect the movie’s opening chase scene.
鈥淓veryone has a favorite Bond car and these vehicles have been touchstones of contemporary culture for decades,鈥� Kathryn Keane, vice president of exhibitions and collections at the museum, .
Other vehicles include a hang glider from 1979’s 鈥淢oonraker鈥� and a submarine from 1981’s 鈥淔or Your Eyes Only.鈥� Both films starred Roger Moore as the British spy.
Alongside each vehicle will be other props and gadgets from the movies and clips from each film.
鈥淓ven real intelligence agencies devising spy tools have found inspiration through these captivating gadget-filled movies and vehicles, sometimes propelling fictional inventions from fantasy into reality,鈥� Amanda Ohlke, the museum’s director of Adult Programming, said in a statement.
Tickets to 鈥淏ond in Motion鈥� will cost $12 when the exhibit opens. Spy Museum members will be able to visit for free throughout its run. The exhibit will leave in April 2025.
