VALENCIA - SPAIN - GREATEST MARVEL UNIVERSE INTERACTIVE EXHIBIT EVER !!!

[XXXPHOENIX]

MARVEL SUPERHEROES - THE SCIENCE OF THE SUPERHEROES

...loaded with pics!!!

 

Hello fellow collectors!

 

Last week, while visiting the beautiful city of Valencia, Spain, I took my wife and my two children to the fantastic City of Arts and Science and to my surprise I found a pseudo-scientific exhibit of over 1000 square meters inspired to Marvel Superheroes .

The exhibit is temporary and will last only until 15 September 2013.

I decided to document it because the level and quality of the show is so high that it would be a crime not to share it!

 

This is the Intro I have Cut and pasted from the official website:

"MARVEL SUPERHEROES - THE SCIENCE OF THE SUPERHEROES

Discover Spiderman's secret and imitating the Daily Bugle's photographer by scaling a wall, investigate into whether there is a scientific base behind The Hulk's rage. these are some of the interactive proposals that the Science Museum is offering with the "Marvel Superheroes" exhibition located inthe third floor. Until 15th September 2013

With the slogan "Long live comics! Long live science!", this exhibition is set up such that the visitors are invited to immerse themselves into the comic world and discover little by little how the superheroes bring science into their adventures.

Genetics and evolution with X Patrol's mutants; the development of sensorial abilities with Daredevil; ; states of matter with Robert Drake, the Iceman; or the study of spiders with Spiderman -- these are concepts that are explained in different interactive modules."

 

In short, in the initial part of the exhibition, on large panels you can read the evolution of Marvel superheroes, then proceeding in the visit you will encounter several sections: Dr. Ock, X-Men, Iron Man, Hulk, Daredevil, Spider-Man, Thor etc etc in which the powers and characteristics of superheroes are explained "scientifically".

Then you can touch and manipulate objects trying to swing like Spider-Man, X-raying Wolverine, get mutant DNA tested, touch two huge ice frozen Iceman hands, scream in the X-Men Danger Room like Banshee to defeat the sentinels, test the lightning of Thor, transform from Banner to Hulk, try a sphere that rotates 360°, challende Daredevil super smell....

In short, an exceptional interactive sensorial experience that has no equal in the world!

 

The whole area is also dotted with life-size statues of our heroes, huge comic pages and giant panels with descriptions of the characters and of their powers!

 

I have documented everything here ... I hope to have done something pleasing for you overseas friends!

Ciao Federico!

 

That's an awesome exhibit!

 

Being a lover of science as well, I love how they intertwined the Marvel Superheroes' powers and abilities to genetics & evolution! Great stuff and a clever way to lure kids into the world of science!

 

However, the most important aspect of this entire event is that you had the opportunity to experience and enjoy it with your family! All of you have smiles on your faces and truly seem to be happy in the moment!

 

In relation to the world of comics, that equates to a CGC 10.0 GEM MINT "in life" my brother! You're the man!

 

Thanks for sharing!

I wholeheartedly agree with everything the Professor said! Thanks for sharing Federico. Great pose in front of the giant X-men 137 cover as well...I thought I was looking at the real Cyclops and Marvel Girl there for a minute.

eheh..I am glad you liked my reportage!

The exhibit is really AWESOME... and we had a lot of fun!

 

For what concerns the UX137 pose.. well, we did it because my wife wanted to impersonate the Phoenix (the mythological bird that rose each time from its ashes) because last year she suffered a very serious illness and after all the therapies she felt like she had resurrected...
