Rotterdam (Netherlands), Oct 14 (IANS/EFE): The Kunsthal museum in Rotterdam has inaugurated an exhibition titled "The 007 design, 50 years of Bond style", which sheds light on how the British secret agent influenced art, music, technology and design.

The exhibit, which features more than 500 objects and environmental recreations, shows the Bond effect on contemporary culture since the character was created more than 50 years ago by Ian Fleming.

"Not only does the exhibition show James Bond's history, but also allows living an experience," Kunsthal curator Jannet de Goede told Spanish news agency Efe during the inauguration Monday.

Documents, models, prototypes, scripts, music and film clips, large selections of costumes and accessories, as well as original photographs, many unrevealed to date, provide an insight on how the Bond series were done.

With 23 Bond films in five decades, the museum shows the glamour of the renowned Bond style, which is not only a landmark in the history of cinema, but also for the world of art, music, fashion, technology, car design and lifestyle.

Eight halls of the museum are dedicated to Bond themes and to recreate the atmosphere of the series, since the debut film "Dr. No", which was produced in 1962 and starred Sean Connery, until the latest, the 2012 production "Skyfall" which starred Daniel Craig.

In the "Gold Room", a circular bed covered in white linen and a woman's body painted in gold are a reminiscence of the classic 1964 production "Goldfinger".

There are also sections dedicated to the author who created Agent 007, British writer Ian Fleming, and a reproduction of the office of M, where the secret agent received his orders.

The exhibition and the multi-sensory experience of this extensive retrospective of the world's most famous spy also includes the "Q" branch, the fictional research division of the British Secret Service, the casino of "Casino Royale", foreign countries, villains, enigmas and the Ice Palace of "Die Another Day".

"What impresses me most is the way the exhibition has been set up, in an unconventional manner. It is different because the public really strolls through the James Bond movies", De Goede added.

In the tour through the Bond world, more than 500 objects can be seen, like the white bikini worn by Ursula Andress in "Dr. No", Q's briefcase in "From Russia with Love", Scaramanga's golden gun in "The Man with the Golden Gun", and the shark teeth that first appeared in "The Spy who loved me".

The spy's elegance is reflected in the tuxedo Roger Moore wore in 1983's "Octopussy", or one of the suits of Italian firm Brioni which Pierce Brosnan wore in 1995's "Goldeneye".

Another section features 007's famous cars, such as the silver Aston Martin DB5 that first appeared in "Goldeneye" and made a return to the screens in "Skyfall".

The exhibition, which was first held in London in 2012, will remain at the Kunsthal until February 2015.
