This uniquely engaging exhibition is filled with more than 400 vintage and original toys, comic books, games, posters, packaging, television commercials, movie trailers and more, featuring iconic monsters, superheroes, and villains of American popular culture. This expansive exhibition will be displayed throughout the museum’s ground floor and in the third floor R. Burnett and Mimi Miller Gallery.

Appealing to all ages, the exhibition profiles many creators, designers, and artists such as: Stan Lee, Bob Kane, and Todd McFarlane, along with vintage toys from Mattel, Hasbro, Aurora, Marx, and more.
