Tuxedos belonging to former James Bond stars Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan are set to go on display as part of a new exhibition based on the history of the 007 films.

Producers behind each of the spy thrillers have teamed up with bosses at the Barbican Centre in London to create a tribute collection complete with movie props, set pieces, gadgets, costumes and sketches to commemorate the iconic franchise's 50th anniversary.

The show will feature Ursula Andress' infamous white bikini from the first Bond film, Dr No, as well as the fitted blue swimming trunks Daniel Craig wore in Casino Royal.

Designing 007 is set to open on Friday (06Jul12) and run until 5 September (12).
