The museum, [007 Elements](http://www.007.com/007-elements-james-bond-cinematic-installation/ "undefined"), is an experimental installation dedicated to the fictional British secret agent and will open next month, CNN Travel reports. It also boasts a cinematic location, atop the Gaislachkogl mountain in Sölden, Austria and next to the ice Q restaurant, which appeared in 2015’s [_Spectre_](http://time.com/4102716/spectre-fails-to-create-a-powerful-bond-girl/ "undefined"). The museum will be accessible via cable car. “It’s an authentic James Bond movie location, it’s inside the top of a mountain at 3,000 meters up in the air,” creative director Neal Callow told CNN. Callow also worked as an art director on the Daniel Craig-led Bond films _Casino Royale_, _Quantum of Solace_, _Skyfall_ and _Spectre._ “We were looking for a perfect environment… somewhere high in the mountains with a unique, modern piece of architectural style,” Callow added. Designed by architect Johann Obermoser, the striking, glass and concrete edifice is “not a traditional museum,” according to Callow. It’s built into the permafrost of the mountain and regulated at 1 degree Celsius (33.8 degrees Fahrenheit), and comprised of multi-sensory [galleries](http://www.007.com/inside-007-elements/ "undefined") with names like “Barrel of the Gun,” “The Lair,” and “Tech Room” that will allow visitors to wander through immersive audiovisual exhibits. There are also classic props and paraphernalia, including a full-scale airplane from _Spectre_. Daniel Craig will reprise the role in his [fifth Bond film](https://people.com/movies/daniel-craig-returning-to-james-bond/ "undefined"), the 25th in the series, which is slated to reach theaters in November 2019\. Until then, fans will have to fly to Austria to experience a Bond adventure. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5310725/james-bond-museum-mountain-austria/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5310725/james-bond-museum-mountain-austria/"},"headline":"The Best Place to Build a James Bond Museum?
