A museum dedicated to James Bond opens in the Alps without a license to offend

The first museum dedicated exclusively to James Bond opens tomorrow in an alpine summit and was designed to resemble a den A villain of the saga. However, 007 has no license here to offend, as any trace of badist, racist or inappropriate comments has been purged.

The construction is next to Ice Q, a restaurant located in a glbad building "007 Elements has a cinematic atmosphere and the building, created to measure the installation, looks like the other den. Bond's villain, "says Efe. Neal Callow, who designed the museum and is the artistic director of the last four films in the series ("Casino Royale", "Quantum of Solace", "Skyfall" and "Specter").

The center, 1300 square meters, minimalist style and built with concrete, glbad and steel, is partially carved into the rock to integrate into the landscape.

The only way to get there is by a funicular that leaves from the station. Ski Sölden and whose price is included in the 22 euros (25,8 $) that costs the adult ticket.
