The Museum of Science and Industry reopens March 7 (with exclusive Member Days March 4-6) with a can’t-miss exhibition celebrating 80 years of the Marvel universe.
You need not be a hardcore comic book fan to geek out on this deep dive into Marvel history. Marvel: Universe of Super Heroes at the Museum of Science and Industry celebrates eight decades of storytelling through a showcase of more than 300 artifacts.
Get a close-up look at costumes and props from the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s blockbuster films alongside original artwork and comics displaying iconic characters and their development through the years and across mediums.
Visitors can see how WandaVision characters Scarlett Witch and The Vision originated in the comics; size up Captain America’s shield and Dr. Strange’s cape; and honor Chadwick Boseman and his legacy with a look at Black Panther costumes and film stills. (Read our story about Boseman’s Black Panther co-star Danai Gurira.)
A must-see for pop culture enthusiasts, the exhibition, a collaboration between SC Exhibitions, Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) and Marvel Themed Entertainment, is getting an extended run at MSI through Oct. 24.
