Experience the largest Marvel exhibition ever presented, only showing at GOMA in Brisbane. Follow Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye and their allies and adversaries from the pages of Marvel Comics to their big-screen incarnations.
Drawing on Marvel's extensive archive of original comic books, spectacular concept art, props and costumes, as well as private collections, the exhibition features over 500 unique objects including Thor's hammer, Iron Man's suit of armour, Captain America's shield, and never-before-seen set pieces from the highly anticipated Thor: Ragnarok 2017, including the majestic Asgardian throne room.
This QAGOMA-curated exhibition also goes behind the scenes to offer a glimpse into the work of production designers, storyboarding and pre-visualisation artists, costume and prop designers, and visual effects artists. Interactive elements throughout the exhibition allow visitors to delve even further into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
