In addition to the already-in-place Bond section at the International Spy Museum, since October they have had more Hollywood movie spy props, including Bonds PPK from A View To A Kill:

I went a year or two ago and it was amazing. They had a corner in the museum where they had a replica(im guessing or could it be one of the extras made for the film?) aston mmartin db5 that is set on a timer that cycles through all the gadgets(machine guns,tire slashers,license plates), they also had a tv screen showing scenes from some bond films. They even have a whole section of James Bond items in the gift shop, They had corgi's, martini sets, games, all official. I would say its a must for a fan of bond or espionage to check it out. Its well worth travelling to washington for. The only problem is that you cant take pictures. If i couldve I wouldve posted them.

Yeah, the actual International Spy Museum should be visited by all Bond fans at least once in their life. Of course the showpiece of the regular collection is the replica Aston Martin DB5.
I was in a Bond collectors heaven in the gift shop too.
I'm really curious though to see that a special exhibit is going on right now. Perhaps its worth heading down into the District to check it out.

As a member of the International Spy Museum I have to say I'm always in Bond heaven there. The new hollywood exhibit is a nice addition, but be prepared the room is fairly small. No complaints here though.

Definitely make sure you check out the store too.

Thanks!

I'm looking forward to meeting more Bond fans (especially in the DC area). I plan on traveling to signings and other events in 2006.

Sounds like someplace I need to visit...
