All of the memoirs were on loan from the Kubrick estate. Some of the most interesting and notable items were photographs from when the filmmaker was a teenager working as a staff photographer for Look magazine. There are also colorful storyboards of Spartacus. One of the most interesting items in the exhibition, is the lenses from filming Barry Lyndon. These fragile pieces were actually designed by NASA.
