Marvel Comic Art & Super-heroes Exhibit, Chicago Museum of Science, Industry now to October, 2021 2 2

[aardvark88]

This seems to be primarily a traveling Marvel original art and movie props exhibit that originated at Museum of Pop Culture, Seattle, WA (search for previous pics) and now in Chicago, IL running to the end of Oct, 2021. $18 general admission but daytime entry selling out due to Marvel popularity, social distancing. Thus, they have added evening admission. Highly recommended, as prime original published comic book cover art, splashes, and props generously loaned by the biggest USA collectors and comic dealers. Decades covered: 1939 to 2019 Marvel Cinematic Universe. Recommended for families too.

I just want to say that I went to the exhibit that was in Seattle and it was amazing.  They had various movie props but more importantly some really famous original art on display!  If anyone can make it to the exhibit I would highly recommend it.

I'm guessing it's the same roving exhibit that goes from museum to museum.  I went to one in Edmonton and the OA blew my mind.  (I just checked my phone and I can't believe I didn't take any pictures of it).

I went to it when it was in Philly two years ago.  Seeing the props and tid bits on Marvel was cool but seeing the vintage original artwork and key pieces of art was beyond cool.  Well worth the time if it comes near you.

Although the exhibit stays 90% the same for every installation, they switch up some of the art/props/costumes for each city.  I haven't seen the exhibit, but know that since the exhibit has opened, they've added content around the X-Men, Capt. Marvel, Shang Chi, Deathlok, and more.  So, if you saw the exhibit in Seattle or Philly, it may seem a little different now.

I don’t suppose anyone has pictures they would share of the amazing OA?

Interestingly, about 1/2 the art pictured at the Seattle show had been replaced with other art at this point.  I’d be interested to see recent pics.

I was recently at the Chicago exhibit.  Highly recommended as it is really well done.  Fans of the movies, history of Marvel, and of OA should really enjoy.  Most of my photos of OA are the same ones posted by Knightsofold and piper.  Here are a few I didnt see posted yet:

I saw it in Philadelphia; very well done. Comic Art Fans on YouTube has an interview with the guy who put together the exhibition and convinced all the art donors to participate. I took tons of photos, some of which are duplicated above, and some not.

I appreciated that they were selling quite a few dollar reprints of key issues.
