The World of 007
The Official James Bond Exhibition · Royal Armouries, Leeds · original 1997 brochure
Original official brochure for the 1997 Royal Armouries presentation of The World of 007, a major James Bond exhibition bringing together film-used vehicles, props, gadgets, production imagery and material on Ian Fleming. More than a souvenir, the brochure is primary evidence of the late-1990s institutional presentation of Bond as design, film history and material culture, bridging TMR’s existing Bond physical-media and collecting holdings with museum/exhibition history.

Why this object matters
The Royal Armouries brochure is primary evidence of Bond's 1997 museum presentation and its treatment as material culture. That is outstanding exhibition documentation; association with a museum alone does not demonstrate exceptional significance for this standard brochure.
