007 museum to open in Bregenz, Austria, to mark `Quantum of Solace` appearence

An Austrian town is to open a James Bond museum to mark its brief appearance in Quantum of Solace.

Local government officials say the museum will open in Bregenz on March 20 to celebrate the location's links with 007.

The museum will feature props from shooting and pictures and fact sheets for visitors.

Organisers said they wanted to give museum-goers an intense - behind the scenes - experience of the film.

One famous scene in the film involves the floating opera stage at Bregenz where Bond stalks his enemies during a performance of Tosca. The shot involved 1,500 extras.



Last year, MI6 reported that Franz Salzmann, Commercial Director of the Bregenz Festival, said that Bond bringing people to the opera for the first time was "a good sign". Salzmann added that if the production leave behind some props and costumes, a Bond exhibit may be set up at Festival House for future tourists.
