Objects from Marvel’s Black Panther will be coming to Washington, D.C., at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in a new exhibit celebrating the studio’s blockbuster movie.
The objects that will be on display in the museum include “the hero costume worn by actor Chadwick Boseman; a shooting script signed by Ryan Coogler (co-writer; director), Kevin Feige (producer, president of Marvel Studios), Nate Moore (executive producer) and Joe Robert Cole (co-writer; producer); two pages of spec script; and 24 high-resolution production photographs.”
“Black Panther illustrates the progression of blacks in film, an industry that, in the past, has overlooked blacks or regulated them to flat, one-dimensional and marginalized figures. The film, like the museum, provides a fuller story of black culture and identity,” a statement from the museum said.
Black Panther was created in the late 1960s during the peak of the civil rights movement, a critical time in history that is also showcased in the museum.
