According to
Robb Report
, "Bond in Motion" is set to be the largest-ever collection of Bond vehicles displayed in the U.S., boasting over 30 cars, boats, motorcycles
, and planes featured in the movies. Previously, the exhibition was displayed by the London Film Museum, and the collection goes all the way back to the beginning of Bond history, to the 1962 film Dr. No. Brought to viewers by EON Productions and the Ian Fleming Foundation, this exhibition pays tribute to the legacy of James Bond’s many vehicles. The exhibition’s sponsor, DHL, shipped eight of the vehicles from the UK so that they could be seen in the U.S.
To see this display, you need to pre-purchase a ticket, which will cost $16 for adults, $11 for children under 18, and $14 for seniors.
For a more curated experience, consider attending the premiere event, on Sept. 23, for $60 per ticket. This will give you pre-access to the exhibition, and includes a talk by the curator, as well as free food and drinks. You can also purchase a VIP ticket for $199, through which you can access a mysterious "secret agent lounge."
