Gensler has unveiled its designs for a new museum dedicated to the world’s most famous spy, James Bond.
The firm is behind the design for the Museum of Bond Vehicles and Espionage which is set to open in Momence, Illinois, in 2012 to mark the 50th anniversary of the first Bond move, Dr No.
The 14,000 sq ft museum will house the world’s largest collection of vehicles used in the Bond films and will also feature cultural artefacts of espionage along with exhibits exploring contemporary culture’s impact on the films.
Key features of the building include a 007 window at the building’s most prominent corner while the remainder is clad in black horizontal corrugated metal.
