The famous exhibits include Goldfinger henchman Oddjob`s bowler hat, the metal teeth sported by Jaws in two 1970s Bond films, Scaramanga`s pistol from ‘The Man With The Golden Gun’, 007`s spacesuit from ‘Moonraker’, and a deck of tarot cards seen in ‘Live and Let Die’. The flick-knife shoes worn by SPECTRE agent Rosa Klebb in ‘From Russia with Love’, a waterproof camera from ‘Thunderball’, Halle Berry`s orange bikini from ‘Die Another Day’, Bond`s underwater Lotus car from "The Spy Who Loved Me", and Daniel Craig`s famous blue swimming trunks will also be on display.
