James Bond 007  Museum Sweden, Nybro.

Dear Gunnar Schäfer,

I’m an Assistant Professor in Popular Culture. My current research project is on the phenomenon of James Bond, or more specific: fans collecting movie posters, novels, props, and other memorabilia from the world of 007.

I was delighted to find your site of the James Bond Museum online. To my knowledge, this is the only museum dedicated to James Bond (apart from temporary exhibitions such as ‘For Your Eyes Only’ in the Imperial War Museum ). Therefore, I’m thinking of traveling to Sweden to visit your museum. Would you care to give an interview during my visit? This would greatly benefit my research project. It would take about 15 minutes of your time.

Your webpage also lists the members of your James Bond Museum Fan Club. Is it OK if I mail these members and ask if they would like to cooperate with my research project? I could interview them by phone.

There are no commercial interests; I’m purely interested in the museum & the fan club from an academic point of view.
Best,
Stijn Reijnders
