    Two hours at the least is what you need to allow To take it all in properly .

    Allow 2 hours for a decent look around. But if your not planning on reading the information on the walls so you could be out within 30 mins.

    I agree on just over 2 hours. Plenty to read and take pictures of. The shop won't keep you too long though there is a cafe. Get the handheld commentary when you gain entry for a few £ though - it's well worth it.

    The length of the journey time to Cardiff can vary wildly between car and train and by time of day by car! There's a physical bottleneck on the M4 at Newport with speed restrictions that pretty much stands traffic stationery at peak times (5-7pm) adding significantly to downtime. Do you have time sensitive plans for Cardiff?

    I recall spending a couple of hours in that museum. Of course I was taking pictures of almost everything, so that understandably slowed me down somewhat.

    Just remembered. There's a glorious Bond geek photo op that you could miss out on if you don't venture into the cafe area! Of course you need an accomplice!

    Along the wall of the sitting area where there are a few more props and models used in the filming (lot of PB era stuff) but best of all, on a stretch of white wall there's a pair of HUGE oo7 gun logos in black embossed in 3D standing off the wall that you need to have a picture standing beside!

    There's also a mini gunbarrel set that a pro photographer will take a torso shot of you with tux and bowtie as part of the deal though no idea of the cost - for the full effect, take a prop gun if you can get it through customs!! lol

    Does anyone have a close up picture of the rental agreement for Bond's BMW in Tomorrow Never Dies? My picture turned out blurry.

    I might do, as I took a picture of nearly everything when I last went. The only problem is I recently broke the phone I used to take the pictures with. So I'll get back to you when (and if) my phone gets fixed.

    @PropertyOfALady If you open the image in a new tab, it will let you zoom in where you can see most of the information.

    Yeah nice studio shots, thanks.

    It still annoys me that they haven’t replaced those naff attempts at numberplates on the Lotus sub :)

    So it's moved again, and look at the cool way they're displaying the NTTD DB5:



    Keep an eye on the numberplates too!
