On December 8th 2023 I was invited to the media event at ‘BOND IN MOTION’ in Prague, Czech Republic. It was a great collection of 85 exhibits from James Bond films. That day special guests attended the event: Special Effects Supervisor Chris Corbould OBE, stunt coordinator Lee Morrison, actress Maryam d’Abo, actress Carole Ashby and EON’s archivist Meg Simmonds.

Samantha Bond played Miss Moneypenny, M’s secretary at MI6, in the four James Bond films featuring Pierce Brosnan: ‘GoldenEye’, ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’, ‘The World Is Not Enough’ and ‘Die Another Day’.
Last month we’ve met for a portrait session at Corinthia Hotel in London.
I want to thank Corinthia Hotel London team, especially Director of communications Alice Jonsdottir for a possibility of organizing the portrait session in magnificent interior of the hotel.

German Spy Museum (Deutsches Spionagemuseum) is located at Leipziger Platz in the center of the capital of Germany. The square was destroyed during the Second World War. During Cold War it was no man’s land at the Berlin Wall. It is very close to Checkpoint Charlie, famous Berlin Wall crossing point between East Berlin and West Berlin, that was also ‘Octopussy’ filming location.
To enter the museum you have to validate your ticket and walk through double door. It takes… 007 seconds before second door opens.
The exhibition is mostly dedicated to real spies, but there is also fictional secret agents area. At the entrance to that room you can take a photo with 007 background. Below you can see my selfie with camera instead of gun.
There is a number of props that were used on sets of different James Bond movies. On several screens you can watch short parts of films where each prop was used.
Chips and playing cards from ‘Casino Royale’, the Order of Lenin from ‘A View to a Kill’, fake ID from ‘The World Is Not Enough’, Walther PPK/S from ‘Skyfall’.
