The Super Museum in Metropolis Was Delightful!

Clarkson, Samii, and myself!

On our way back from my cousin's wedding in Huntsville, Alabama, we drove through Metropolis, Illinois. Home to, "The Super Museum," we knew we wanted to stop and check it out. There is a massive gift shop packed with Superman-related items and a museum that has the most Superman memorabilia of anywhere in the world. It was $5 per person with kids 5 years old and under free. We paid $10 and walked through the really cool exhibit.

Tracing the history of Superman from his earliest appearances in comic-books, to the television shows, movies, cartoons, and the countless tie-in merchandise, there was a ton on display. Everything from rare foreign toys, to a record player...

 to Funko Pops...

artwork as well as outfits...

and more! There was even rare props like the actual wigs Christopher Reeve wore for his shooting of, "Superman," and they looked neat...

Also, the life-size Doomsday on display was imposing and impressive...

We were also both amused and astonished by the display of the, "Unofficial/bootleg," Superman products that other companies had made and put-out without any kind of approval from DC. Those Superman items were as weird as they were interesting...

All-in-all it was a great pit-stop and incredibly fun to visit The Super Museum. We enjoyed walking-through and then purchasing some souvenirs from the gift-shop. I'd encourage anyone with the opportunity to stop in Metropolis to do so!
