It celebrates the more than 80 years of the Marvel Universe with artifacts, original art and iconic costumes and props.

“Marvel: Universe of Super Heroes” traces the story of the company and its influence on culture, while uncovering the narratives of individual characters such as Captain America, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Doctor Strange; giving insight on how Marvel has influenced and drawn inspiration from the ever-changing tides of popular culture. The exhibition traces how Marvel stories have responded to historical events and addressed wider issues such as gender, race and mental illness; and honoring pioneering creators such as Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko, whose imaginations made Marvel into the endlessly expansive fictional Universes we know today.
