From sketch
to reality!

With key artifacts, interactive installations, infographics, and life-size statues of your favorite Super Heroes, this exhibition illuminates all aspects of Marvel’s eight-decade history: from the iconic characters to the creators who’ve told the stories, from the original comic books to the big-screen blockbusters.

Visitors will enjoy the opportunity to travel through the mysterious mirror dimension of Doctor Strange; get up-close glimpses of concept sketches, props, and costumes from Marvel movies; pose for selfies alongside Black Panther, Spider-Man, and other characters; and even see the original art from some of Marvel’s most notable comics.

An exhibition produced by Semmel Exhibitions, MoPOP, and Marvel Themed Entertainment.
