The Stanley Kubrick Exhibition at the Design Museum, London

This weekend, my wife and I went to London to see Dead Can Dance play, whilst we were in town we also went to see the Stanley Kubrick Exhibition at the Design Museum. This features many of the original props of Kubrick's films and is worth every penny of the entrance fee. Here are some photos (in no particular order) of the treats on offer  (hover your mouse on the picture to see a description):
