Fans of the iconic BBC show can get their hands on rare items from Terry Gilliam’s personal collection, which are included as part of a sale of around 90 items.
More than 60 of the lots are from Monty Python Live (Mostly) at London’s O2 arena in 2014, which is thought to be the last time the troupe will perform together.
Bidding is open now and remains so for just less than three weeks.
What is Monty Python?
Formed in 1969, the Monty Python comedy troupe was made up of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Sir Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam.
The group’s rise in prominence and popularity came through the BBC sketch comedy series Monty Python’s Flying Circus, which aired from 1969 to 1974.
They went on to create films, musicals, albums, books and musicals.
Chapman died of cancer in 1989, and Jones died in 2020.
The group, minus Chapman, put on their final show in 2024 at the O2.

Sir Michael said: “Monty Python Live (Mostly) at the O2 was the show to end all Python shows.
“None of us had ever experienced an audience reaction on that scale, proving conclusively that it is possible to be silly after 70.
“We couldn’t better that show and since the sad death of Terry Jones, we must admit that the O2 show was Python’s farewell.”
Monty Python items from final live show being auctioned off
Sir Michael said he hopes some of the costumes and props, which are being auctioned online, can be passed on to their “greatest and most loyal fans”.
Among the outfits up for sale are Gilliam’s “I’ve Got Two Legs” costume and exploding stomach, Idle’s “Galaxy Song” suit and globe, Cleese’s albatross costume and wig and a dress worn by actress Carol Cleveland.
Props include a spam menu from the “spam” sketch, a lifelike llama, and a fake dead parrot and bird cage.
