Ventured south of the Thames for an interesting little AYS job at the Imperial War Museum the other day. The main feature of the front of the building property were a pair of massive 30-foot long gun barrells that fired from a boat on D-Day. Just behind that was an actual section of the Berlin Wall, painted with revolutionary graffiti. I set up the bar for the drinks reception directly between a WWII tank and a mobile cannon, with a Sopwith Camel and a Nazi lutwaffe plane of the type that dive-bombed Harrison Ford and Sean Connery in The Last Crusade just above my head. The fifth floor the building was actually titled Crimes Against Humanity. To say the job was a bit surreal understates things.
There was one exhibit that I had heard about and had wanted to visit there, which was a tribute to Ian Flemming and his historical experiences which inspired James Bond. I got a chance to sneak in and look around before we set up the bar. It was interesting, with interactive displays and a selection of Bond memorabilia, but I'm glad I saw it on the sly rather than paying eight quid for it.
