Maxwell Smart’s shoe phone, Jim West’s blue suit, Agent 007’s gun, Emma Peel’s leather pants and John Steed’s bowler hat are among the 400 items selected from Danny Biederman’s SPY-Fi Archives to be exhibited in “The Incredible World of SPY-Fi” opening aboard the Queen Mary on April 7\. The exhibit is expected to inexplicably dematerialize in September.

Today, Biederman’s collection contains more than 4,000 items and spans 50 years — from the 1959 Alfred Hitchcock spy thriller “North by Northwest” to such recent fare as “Austin Powers” and the TV show “Alias.”

Admission for the SPY-Fi exhibit is included in the Queen Mary First Class Passage ticket at $27.95 for adults, $24.95 for seniors and military and $16.95 for children ages 4 to 11\. First Class Passage also includes the Self-Guided Shipwalk Tour with the Ghosts & Legends Show and two, one-hour historic guided tours. For those who only wish to visit the new exhibit, the ticket is $10 per person. Secret agents with proper ID will be admitted free. Attraction hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily with the box office closing at 5:30 p.m.

The Queen Mary is located at the south end of the 710 Freeway at 1126 Queens Highway, Long Beach. For more information, call (562) 435-3511 or visit www.queen-mary.com or www.spyfiarchives.com.
