Marvel Universe at The Henry Ford

We finally made it to see the MCU exhibit at the Henry Ford!

Masks were required at all times. Note the markers for social distancing in line.

The monitor screen indicated the current time for admittance, as noted on your ticket.

Many Things to see and do (Lori was especially happy to have caught the Spidey photo-bomb).
Hanging out with Spidey
Do NOT make Dr. Banner mad. Srsly!

Exhibits were mostly chronological, beginning with the early days of comics including original art and sample comics.

And, of course, the movies.

Oddly, a number of the costumes were missing the weapons described on the cards, such as Black Widow minus her batons.
Also Hela was missing her signature headdress.
The Doctor Strange exhibit was suitably spacey.
The little card says “Please be gentle with Black Panther.”
Wakanda Forever!
Sorry, we couldn’t resist
