The Bill Douglas Cinema Museum

A crucial part of the research material I need for the dissertation I am currently working on was recently collected at the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum at the University of Exeter. The museum specialises in film ephemera and artifacts and I was able to view a variety of preview literature and marketing material for all 3 of Daniel Craig's Bond films... my conclusions from this will be explored in my dissertation, to be completed in December.

I also enjoyed viewing some rare gems such as a Sean Connery Bond figurine and a James Bond 007 Secret Service board game from 1965.

Anyone interested in the history of film and film merchandise should pay a visit to this museum. You can use their website to have a look at the items they hold as not everything will be in the display cases. Click on the image below:
