Quote: A trip to Metropolis, the home of Superman, is never complete without a visit to see the superhero. So, my wife and I went downtown to visit Superman Square and see the 15-foot high statue of Superman and visit the Super Museum. We entered the museum and immediately were impressed with the ‘super’ amount of memorabilia. Not only was this a museum, but most of the items were available for sale to other collectors. There were numerous posters, life-sized statues and images of superman and supergirl, Tee-shirts, sweat-shirts, DC comics (many of them were collectors editions), even a seven-foot high replica (for about $3500). There were photos and posters of every actor who had portrayed this superhero. They even had the original costume worn by George Reaves in the 1950’s TV series of Superman.

If you can think of any item that featured Superman, it is available at this museum. And why not? Isn’t this his home city? Anna and I certainly enjoyed walking through this shop/museum for about one hour. It reminded me of my years growing up. Be certain to stop in and say hello to the owner, as we did. Then take a trip down the street to the Planet, the daily newspaper (of course).
