Henry Ford Museum Detains 007

The Henry Ford

He�s dashing. He�s debonair. And he�s staying for a couple more weeks at Henry Ford Museum.

Bond, James Bond, the exhibition, made its North American debut at Henry Ford Museum June 20, 2003. Due to popular demand, the museum has decided to extend the exhibit past its December 31 closing date to January 11, 2004. Since its public opening, the exhibit has hosted more than 60,000 James Bond fans.

Celebrating 40 years of James Bond in film, this high-tech, state-of-the-art exhibit was developed by England�s National Museum of Photography, Film & Television in partnership with EON Productions.

As they enter this exhibit, visitors �step� into the life of James Bond as depicted in the movies. Once their own �access� card is activated, visitors are able to unlock classified information and come face to face with some of Bond�s deadliest adversaries. From M�s office to a visit inside Q�s infamous workshop, ticket holders get a taste of the spy trade and hands-on training in espionage.

Bond, James Bond explores the science and art of the Bond movies through the greatest collection of original 007 objects, images concept drawings, storyboards and costume designs. From Rose Klebb�s flick-knife shoe (From Russia With Love), to Oddjob�s killer bowler hat (Goldfinger), visitors get a behind-the-scenes view tour of the creative talents behind the film legend that is James Bond. More than 100 two- and three-dimensional objects are on display.
