More than 500 items, including costumes, gadgets, props, storyboards and models will be on show. Items on display include the sky-blue trunks worn by Daniel Craig in Casino Royale, Roger Moore’s spacesuit from Moonraker and Oddjob’s steel-rimmed bowler hat from Goldfinger. Celebrating more than 50 years of the James Bond franchise, the exhibition focuses on Bond’s influence on art, music, lifestyle, automotive design, travel, technology and fashion over the course of the past five decades.

The exhibition has been formed with exclusive material from the archives of EON Productions on commission from the Barbican, London, by guest curator Bronwyn Cosgrove, Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming, and designer Ab Rogers.
