Dan and Tom became big fans of this exhibit while attending the Press Day viewing.\xa0\xa0 They take you inside and highlight many of the items displayed. And they let you know why you will want to attend this exhibit.

What's in the exhibit?

We won\u2019t give everything away. But there are screen-used gadgets from the James Bond movies. These are\xa0some of the most well-known gadgets in the James Bond history.\xa0 Plus, there are James Bond movie vehicles. Vehicles like the Aston Martin DB5 used in GOLDENEYE, and the Lotus Espirit which was used in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. \xa0\xa0And, there are real-world spy gadgets that the CIA has used to showcase how the Bond gadgets may have had some real-world background.

Who did we talk with?

Includes a quick interview with Meg Simmonds, Archive Director for Eon Productions, and Eric Andersen, Project Manager of Featured Experiences and Special Projects at the Museum.\xa0 They help us understand what is in the exhibit and why.\xa0 Meg talks about one gadget that was from a very early James Bond movie. She had never seen it before but was able to track down. And, that gadget is on display in this exhibit!\xa0 Which one?!

Eric focuses on is the fact that this is the Museum of Science and Industry. So, they want to make sure the exhibit highlights Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) throughout.\xa0 There are interactive activities and Eric helps us understand what is there, and why kids will like this too.

Finally, Chris Corbould, who was the Special Effects Supervisor on all of the James Bond movies from GOLDENEYE through NO TIME TO DIE was there. A separate episode will come out with that interview!\xa0
