Hi all,

 

I read about the exhibition currently taking place in the US called "Exquisitely Evil". Sounds really interesting.

Anyone visited? What are your thoughts?

 

After seeing both "Designing 007" and "Bond in Motion", this is another one I'd really love to see.

Still, since I'm in France with no current plans to go to the US, do you know if this may travel to Europe after it closes there?

Salut, Messervy!

 

I saw that exhibit a couple of years ago at the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. and I enjoyed it very much. I can't find any information about whether it's still on display somewhere - the newest search results are from 2013. The exhibit was terrific: props, costumes, and a few full-sized vehicles displayed in settings dressed up to evoke the villains' lairs from the films. There was an inventively lit "shark tank" room that I particularly liked.

 

I'll let you know if I find out anything about where the exhibit is currently or if it still exists.

 

Below is a list of some of the items I remember seeing in the show (I jotted them down later in the same weekend).

 

I'm hopeful that the following project (in the region where I live) will be realised and could serve as a venue for future travelling Bond exhibits:

I envy your having seen those other two exhibits. I wonder if they'll be crossing the ditch.

Thanks mate!
Great recollection. Wish I could set my eyes on those.
Let's keep in touch about where these exhibitions go...

I'm visiting DC with my family at the end of May - hoping to catch this! Just checked the International Spy Museum's website and it's still there!

Hum.... strange, because a lot of these items were also at the "Designing 007" exibition, which was just ended a month ago in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

 

I thought there was for example only one original Golden Gun left (the other(s) are stolen/dissapeared), how can it be on two places at the same time? Maybe one is faulse?

 

Or the original Jaws teeth. There was just one I think!?

Leaving for DC on Saturday. Hoping to have a full report on the exhibit and maybe some pics as well!

Just got back from my vacation to Washington and I took many pictures at the exhibit! I'd be happy to post some if you guys would like.
