For Your Eyes Only: Ian Fleming and James Bond [IWM London]November 10, 2008
To celebrate the centenary of Ian Fleming’s birth, Imperial War Museum London is producing the first major exhibition devoted to the life and work of the man who created the world’s most famous secret agent, James Bond.
Featuring fascinating material, much on public display for the first time, For Your Eyes Only will look at the author and his fictional character in their historical contexts and examine how much of the Bond novels were imaginary and how far they were based on real people and events. This exhibition will explore the early life of Ian Fleming, his wartime career and work as a journalist and travel writer, and how, as an author, he drew upon his own experiences to create the iconic character of James Bond.

The Children's War [IWM London]November 10, 2008
Taking a child’s perspective on such topics as evacuation, air raids, rationing and the blackout, the positive and negative aspects of the war are illustrated through original letters, diaries, artefacts, photographs and oral recordings.
The popular 1940s House is the centrepiece of this hands-on gallery where children can learn about everyday life on the home front.
