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; see the original art from some of Marvel’s most notable comics; and even step into Tony Stark’s lab to test the capabilities of the Iron Man armor for themselves.

For audiences around the world, the name Marvel conjures up images of one thing: super heroes. Whether through the vibrant colours of comic books, or the all-consuming brilliance of the big screen, Marvel characters have captured imaginations for over 80 years, catapulting readers into a vibrant universe of characters and stories that defy belief, yet are relatable and deeply human. And now, with Marvel Studios’ film and TV productions becoming worldwide blockbusters and comic books finally being widely recognized as a vital part of our visual culture, there has never been a better moment for an exhibition that tells the intertwined stories of Marvel’s rise from small publisher to multimedia giant, the company’s iconic costumed characters, and the creators that forged this universe of imagination.
