Marvel's Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing – The Exhibition Swings into Griffin Museum of Science and Industry
CHICAGO — Marvel's Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing – The Exhibition makes its Chicago premiere at Griffin Museum of Science and Industry on Thursday, May 22. This traveling exhibit celebrates the history and legacy of Spider-Man, from his first comic book appearance in 1962 to his modern-day status as one of the world’s most recognizable and popular icons.
The immersive exhibit features original artwork by legendary creators, rare comic books and behind-the-scenes looks at how the “Spider-Verse” leapt from the page to movies, TV and video games, starting with Spider-Man's first appearance in 1962’s Amazing Fantasy #15 up to his most recent depictions in series like Marvel Animation's Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Marvel's Spidey and his Amazing Friends. Visitors can also see film props and costumes, explore cutting-edge interactive installations and take photos with life-size statues of Miles Morales, Ghost-Spider, Spider-Man and more. For more information, visit msichicago.org/spider-man.
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing – The Exhibition runs through Feb. 8, 2026. The exhibit was developed by Semmel Exhibitions in association with Marvel and co-curated by comic scholars Benjamin Saunders and Patrick A. Reed, and designed by acclaimed Berlin-based collective StudioTK, all of whom have previously worked with Marvel and Semmel on the blockbuster touring exhibition Marvel: The Exhibition - Universe Of Super Heroes.
