007 Elements, Modern architecture museum in Sölden, Austria
007 Elements is a modern museum integrated into Gaislachkogl Mountain at 3000 meters elevation, with concrete, steel, and glass structures built directly into the rock face. The building contains interconnected chambers where multimedia installations and film clips are displayed throughout the interior.
Construction began in 2018 with extreme technical challenges, requiring helicopter transport to deliver materials when snow blocked access to the remote mountaintop. The structure was built as a tribute to the action film Spectre, which had filmed scenes in the surrounding area.
The museum presents how filmmakers craft their ideas for James Bond productions through original props, costumes, and equipment from various films. You'll observe how designers and technicians work on the details that audiences experience on screen.
The exhibition rooms are unheated and stay at roughly 0 °C, so bring warm clothing. The museum can only be reached by the cable car from Sölden, which runs up to the Gaislachkogl and stops next to the ice Q restaurant. Check the lift's operating status before setting out, since access depends entirely on it.
The building features two dramatically projecting windows that frame views of Alpine peaks where filming took place. From these vantage points you can see the landscape that appeared in the action sequences.
