“Bond in Motion” at the International  Spy Museum in Washington

Sancerres at Sunset

The International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C., recently opened “Bond in Motion“, a special exhibition of 17 vehicles featured in James Bond films.

There are also props and scale models, and movie clips play alongside their featured vehicles.

I am not a car person. I rarely drive, unless I’m on a road trip, and my own car is a 13-year-old sedan. I’m also not a James Bond person; my espionage interests are historic, not futuristic.

But as a member, or “Operative”, of the International Spy Museum, I had the opportunity to see the exhibit a couple of days before the crowds. So I Ubered into Washington, and it was worth it.

It was a rare chance to see classic cars up close, like the Aston Martin Vanquish from Die Another Day.

Other vehicles include the one-person submarine from Diamonds are Forever, the Hydrofoil boat from Moonraker, and the Flying Parahawk from The World Is Not Enough. 

But the real fun for me was the interactive games. This is where the International Spy Museum stands out. We learn best by applying information in ways that make us think.
