Not a museeum but the Back Factory (which is a german fastfood chain), right next to Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin has the Mini Jet from OP on Display, plus some pictures from the shoot of OP.
Is there anything Bond-related to see at the British Motor Museum (Coventry/Warwick)? I'll be heading there soon.
And what about the Aston Martin factory next door? Do they have a museum or do they offer a tour?
I'm afraid I can't tell you about the factory either. There's an Aston museum in Oxfordshire but it's pretty small, I think; I happened to pass a sign for it and looked it up when I got home: https://www.amht.org.uk/the-museum
Some years ago, I and some classmates ate there when we were on a class trip to Berlin. Didn't know about the OP memorabilia they have on display beforehand, so it was a very cool surprise!
