High-tech hallway

Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. Over the last 50 years -- since "Dr. No" was released in the U.K. -- these men have saved the world from evil as the celluloid versions of James Bond, a British MI6 secret service agent with immeasurable charm. With his never-ending supply of high-tech gadgets and heart-pulsing ability to survive the unexpected, Bond forever changed the way the world imagines secret agents.

Hosted at the Barbican Centre in London, "Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style" highlights more than 400 items from Eon Productions' Bond archives, including costumes, automobiles, weapons, original props, and rarely seen photos shot on location. The exhibit stays in London through September 5, and then embarks on a three-year international tour.
