10 Things I Love About The 'Marvel Studios: Ten Years of Heroes' Exhibition

Hi Huneybees,

It's been 10 years since Iron Man first popped on to our cinema screens, spawning one after another movie, creating one of the biggest movie franchise out there that now it's been named as a universe - Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Jumping out of the Marvel Comics, are the superheroes we know as the Avengers. Whilst the cast who plays the superheroes assemble to get their very own commemorative tattoo, we the Marvel fans here in Singapore, get to indulge ourselves in the World of Marvel at the 'Marvel Studios: Ten Years of Heroes' exhibition.

10 years, 19 movies all compacted into a gallery space within the ArtScience Museum with 10 themed sections for you to step into the MCU. I was there for a media preview, took a plethora of photos and here's 10 things I love about the exhibition...

1) Movie Posters Gallery

Every single Marvel movie poster featured alongside with a little playback, summary and categorized according to order will bring you down memory lane. Which ones have you watched before? Did you miss any of them? If I could have a special room for mementos, this dream room will definitely be the one.

2) Light Projection Iron Man

Entering the Stark Tower, stands a white Iron Man statue. The Hall of Armors pop up on the screen behind and light projection via mapping is cast onto the statue to show you the evolution of armors Iron Man has worked on. Going from Mark I to Mark XLVI, you will get to see how the pieces come together and what upgrades have been made. 

3) Thor's Hammer

Stepping out of the Bifrost, brings you to the Sakaar's gladiator scene where the iconic battle between Thor and Hulk from 'Thor: Ragnorok' happened. That may be a magnificent scene to marvel at but what's hiding at a corner is the Mjolnir. I tried, but guess I wasn't the chosen one, it's your turn now...

4) I Am Groot

One of my favourite characters from the MCU, makes an appearance too. I grooved to the soundtracks from the Guardians Of The Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 and dance along with Baby Groot!

5) Opening Portals with Doctor Strange

This might just be as close as I can get to Benedict Cumberbatch! That charming Doctor Strange vibe makes him so mysterious~ Not only did I get to take endless pictures with "him", I also got a chance to practice Alchemy, bending reality and opening portals to some of Singapore's iconic tourist spots!

6) Wakanda Forever

Yes, you can travel to the secretive Wakanda without the need for your passport. At this gallery, you can enter the Panther Cave to meet Black Panther himself and explore their tech. I do love the whole setup but if there was a section for Shuri's tech lab, it will be perfect!

7) Microscopic World

I was tracing the little ants on the floor and popped into this space, wondering what is there to see. Then I noticed 2 magnifying glasses which behind stood Ant-Man and The Wasp. So, this is how small they are?! I could pinch them with my fingers! Well, prepare your microlens for this gallery (don't be like me) coz they are very detailed and you wouldn't want to miss it.

8) Thanos

At this last section of the exhibition, stands Thanos and his Infinity Gauntlet, where you can activate it with each of the Infinity Stones via an interactive display. Though he is being named as the villain of the MCU, I can't help feeling in awe for this character. He had a mission and spent all his efforts to fulfill that; all the determination and "discipline" in improving and empowering himself, is definitely the kind of spirit I look up to and hope to have.

9) Group Photo

Remember that famous Oscar Selfie by Ellen DeGeneres? Top that at the photo wall upon exit with an epic MCU wefie. The whole cast of the Marvel movie series, joined with the director and even Stan Lee have all lined up for that shot with you!

10) Exclusive Merchandise

Don't rush out of the exhibition just yet. The souvenir store is there waiting and right at the middle, you can spot these black t-shirts with a number 10 printed on the back. These are sold exclusively to commemorate the 10th anniversary MCU and you can choose different designs that feature a silhouette of your favourite superheroes like Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, etc...

So there you have it, these are the 10 little things I love about the 'Marvel Studios: Ten Years of Heroes' Exhibition. There are so much more for you to explore and photo spots for all your social media sharing. Be sure to head on over to the ArtScience Museum to check it out.

Have You Visited The MARVEL'S AVENGERS S.T.A.T.I.O.N. Exhibition Yet?

Hi Huneybees,

Now that there's a few days break and if you are a Marvels fan or looking for special places to bring your little ones to, hop on over to the Singapore Science Centre!

My nephew was having a school break and I brought him over to meet his favourite Marvel Avengers heroes at the MARVEL'S AVENGERS S.T.A.T.I.O.N. Exhibition. Both he and I went fan crazy as we tested our abilities to see if we have what it takes to be the next Avengers!

There will be examinations based on History, Genetics, Technology, Mission and Personal Profiles of the Avengers Team.

Once you have crossed the gantry, go ahead and pick up an iPhone device or download the app (Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. Mobile Training Device) before heading into the Briefing Room where Commander Maria Hill will address you. The app will guide you through your training by Tony Stark's A.I. - FRIDAY. 

It will give you insights of the exhibition, allows you to take photos and also test your knowledge of the Marvel Avengers, where towards the end of the exhibition, you can use it as your portfolio to print out memorabilia of the exhibition.

• Personalized ID Cards - $12 each
• Printed Certificate of completion   - $10 each
• Photos - $15 each

First to greet us was none other than Captain America himself. My nephew is a huge fan of him, so it was inevitable that we spent more time in this section. You can pose with Cap America's costume, shield, and bike, and also test your strength against him.

Do you have the stamina?

Do you have the strength?

Next, we headed into Dr Bruce Banner's Bio-Lab to meet up with The Hulk. Did you know The Hulk and Captain America were both works of The Super Soldier Serum?

What goes on in Hulk's brain?

See Hulk come alive on the screen.

Oh, my! What big hands he has!

On the way to see Black Widow and Hawkeye, we passed by The Tessaract Portal Device, where we could witness and study the electromagnetic spectrum readings emanating from it as the S.T.A.T.I.O.N. attempts to reopen the portal! 

The next area brought us into the worlds of Black Widow, Hawkeye, Falcon and Ant-Man as we got up close to their suits and gear. Each of them has their special features and secret functions, we got to see how much thought has been put into making these comic characters come alive and made believable that they dwell in our world!

Before you rush through the exhibition, don't forget to try lifting the Mjlönir - Thor's hammer! Even with combined forces, it doesn't even budge, can you lift it?

I find this last bit of the exhibition the most interactive and got almost every kid jumping up and down with joy. Welcome to the world of Iron Man! We've gotten so many pictures taken with Iron Man, the War Machine exosuit, Hulkbuster and the array of Iron Man MK 1-7 Suits at the Hall of Armour!

My nephew even tried his hand at being Iron Man for the day in the augmented reality experience. See how cute this mini Iron Man is!

The last part was a combined force, where we joined other recruits to take on the roles of The Avengers to battle villains in the interactive game room. Our weapon? The iPhone/your phone with the app loaded. 

Once we succeeded in clearing all these levels, we were brought to an activity area where the kids could bring home a little piece of Marvel artwork, whilst the adults go to return the iPhone devices and get the memorabilia printed out.

It's the Science Centre after all, so applying a little physics and magnet knowledge, my nephew got his own bottled flying Captain America to bring home! It's nice to see that the kids could learn something new whilst enjoy a little fun.

Of course, the trip to the Science Centre doesn't end there! We got to hop into Snow City for some chilling fun alongside Oki and friends. My nephew had so much fun sliding down the snow hills and playing with snow that we almost forgot it was time for the Omni-Theatre movie!

There's a lot more happening at Snow City on Christmas where you can meet Santa Claus and Santarina. For more information and details, go to http://www.snowcity.com.sg/whats-on/events.

The Omni-Theatre is the first in Southeast Asia's 8K 3D Dome Theatre. The movie we caught was the animated film Natural Selection 3D where it tells an immersive tale of the renowned naturalist Charles Darwin's scientific journeys around the world on the HMS Beagle. 

We got to see the evolution of life on Earth, the creatures that once dwelled on our world and my nephew just couldn't stop exclaiming what's popping out before his eyes!

This is just one of the 6 movies showing in the theatre, for more details, go to http://www.science.edu.sg.

We ended the day having my nephew getting soaking wet at The WaterWorks, a water playground. By the time we got home, we were all happy and tired out already. I'm so happy we took the opportunity to spend time with my nephew this school holiday.
