50 years ago, 'Jaws' first appeared in cinemas.

Half a century on, an exhibition is celebrating the well-known movie.

The film's based on Peter Benchley's book and follows three people who are hunting a great white shark.

The enormous creature often attacks swimmers.

The interactive exhibition guides visitors through the movie.

People can take part in some of its famous scenes.

The film was directed by 27 year old Steven Spielberg.

Jaws was only his second film.

It was completed too slowly and cost too much.

Spielberg worried it would end his career.

In the end, Jaws was so successful that it became the first blockbuster movie.

It actually made more than $100 million from ticket sales in the US.

And the total's now increased to over $477 million across the world.

Many of the objects on display have come from the movie's fans.

In fact, over 200 items come from the original film.

The main attraction is Bruce, the only model of the shark which remains.

For 50 years, Bruce has made people too scared to enter the water.
