Bond in Motion will open in the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC
The Bond in Motion exhibition will move to the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC in March 2024.
Bond In Motion is a celebration of six decades of 007 vehicles. The exhibit started in London and has travelled the world. Most recently a Bond In Motion exhibit opened in Prague while another one ran in Saratoga, NY.
The exhibition in SPY features 17 iconic pieces from the James Bond film franchise in cooperation with EON Productions Limited, Danjaq, and the Ian Fleming Foundation.
Props, scale models and clips from the films are also on show alongside cars, motorcycles, submarines, and more from the Q Branch garage.
One of the highlights is the James Bond's Aston Martin V12 Vanquish and the bright green Jaguar XKR from Die Another Day (2002)

It is a trip back in time to some of the most classic moments in the adventures of the world’s most famous movie spy. The exhibit includes the Museum’s popular Shark Tank interactive, clips from the film franchise, two totally new interactives, and a special photo op featuring the snowmobile from Die Another Day.
“Everyone has a favorite Bond car and these vehicles have been touchstones of contemporary culture for decades.” shares Kathryn Keane, Vice President of Exhibitions and Collections at the International Spy Museum. “The vehicles in this new exhibit are as inventive and cool as the very real gadgets and tools we display in the Spy Museum. We’re thrilled to juxtapose these fantastic fictional feats of innovation with the premiere collection of authentic espionage artifacts in our permanent exhibit.”
