Hey followers,

we are looking for replacement posters to replace these faded ones if anyone has one or comes across one in their collections hit us up. We will probably not be doing many out of town events in the coming months, now that our roof is fixed we can focus on some interior things that need to be done. Fans reach out to us and make suggestions, so if anyone wants to volunteer and locate some replacement posters so we can improve this section and others. Upstairs is our primary goal this year, we'd love to have something ready for the next Superman Celebration. And as Jim Bowers suggested with the 50th anniversary of Superman the movie is coming up so we really need to have our Christopher Reeve Superman section looking tip top shape for that in 2 years to honor the legacy in a big way!

We'd love to do some big things with this section to make improvements. Open for suggestions and conversations to brainstorm what would make this area feel more upscale and SUPER. Thanks Super friends! Be sure to visit the Super Museum in Metropolis, Illinois and check out all we have to offer spanning 88 years Superman history.

Happy 4th of July! Be safe and have a SUPER Independence Day!
