The Barbican Gallery in London hosts an exhibition of design and style between 6 July and 5 September, celebrating 50 years of the spy James Bond in theaters. Tickets cost between £ 8 and 12 pounds. The house shows posters of 007 movies, replicas of weapons and cars, and wax recreations of the actors who embodied the secret agent. The exhibition is based from the first movie Dr. No to the newest appearance of the spy, Skyfall. Visitors can meet a full-size version of the actor Sean Connery, known to be the first to play Bond in the movies. The agent James Bond, known by the code 007 was created by British writer Ian Fleming in 1953. Almost ten years after gaining fame in literature, the spy starred his first feature film in 1962.
