Cologne in Marvel fever: Superhero exhibition starts today!

On March 7, 2025, an extraordinary exhibition opens in Cologne, which should inspire Marvel fans from all over the region. The "Universe of Super Heroes" exhibition in the Odysseum offers over 200 fascinating exhibits that document the rich history of Marvel for 85 years. Among them are life-size figures, the first Marvel comic from 1939, as well as iconic props such as Thors Hammer and Captain America's shield. Many of the exhibits are original costumes and props from the famous Marvel films, including the suits of Iron Man and Captain Marvel.

organizer Andreas Waschk emphasizes the "ethics of strength and power", which plays a central role in the world of Marvel superheroes. Curator Ben Saunders reminds that great responsibility is also associated with great power. Due to the exhibition, visitors can not only admire the fantastic heroes, but also gain a deep insight into the background stories and the development of the characters, as well as the art and the original drawings of the comics.

first presentation in Germany

The "Universe of Super Heroes" exhibition is a traveling museum that has already recorded over a million visitors in the United States. Now it is shown for the first time in Germany. From her debut on March 7 to June 22, 2025, the exhibition inspires with various photo spots, where visitors can use lifelike statues of the superheroes for unforgettable selfies. This not only makes the show informative, but also interactive.

But the Odysseum is faced with a change: this exhibition marks the end of an era because the site is to be used as a school in the future. This makes visiting the Marvel exhibition a unique experience, not only for comic lovers, but also for families and interested parties.
