This space combines traditional museum displays with modern technology. Guests discover how the web-slinger has evolved over time, getting close to original comic art, film production items, and behind-the-scenes materials from Spider-Man’s appearances in animation and video games.
MARVEL'S SPIDER-MAN: BEYOND AMAZING – THE EXHIBITION was co-curated by pop culture scholars Benjamin Saunders and Patrick A. Reed. Visual design was created by the renowned Berlin-based collective StudioTK, while original sound and multimedia components were produced by LEM-Studios.
All parties have previously collaborated with Marvel and Semmel Exhibitions on the major production Marvel: The Exhibition - Universe of Super Heroes.
This spring, Semmel Exhibitions also opened its touring exhibition, Bubble Planet, at the COLONEUM in the MMC Studios in Cologne, Germany. The experience follows a successful German premiere in Berlin and demonstrates the country’s appetite for immersive, social and family-oriented exhibition formats.
