The Super Museum

The most popular museum attraction in Freedom City by far is the famed Super Museum on Allen Street in Midtown. The museum has exhaustively detailed exhibits on superheroes throughout history, including special displays on the “mystery men” of the 1930s, the Liberty League, and more modern heroes like the Freedom League and The Atom Family. The latest exhibit is on the Silver Storm in Emerald City and its aftermath. The current curator is historian Dr. Jerry B. R. Thomas.
The museum has lifelike statues of supers, dioramas, actual donated costumes, and replicas of super-gadgets and equipment. There are three small theaters, one for newsreels and footage of the early heroes from the 1920s on through the early 1950s, another for the modern heroes of the 1960s through today, and a third for footage of super-criminals and a special documentary on the Terminus Invasion. The museum has a busy gift shop selling all manner of super-memorabilia, including T-shirts, statuettes, comic books, poster prints, videos, and more. The darkly-lit Hall of Honor features spotlights illuminating statues of heroes who gave their lives fighting for Freedom City: Andrea Atom, Brainstorm, Centurion, Halogen, Hepcat, Mentac, Scarab, Tectonic, and others.
Outside the museum stands the 20-foot bronze sculpture “Atlas Triumphant”—a man holding a representation of the Earth high above his head—by artist Raul Diaz. Attached to the museum is the original Champion’s theme-restaurant. Owner and noted collector Todd Campion helped supply many exhibits for the museum, and more can be found inside the restaurant itself. Champion’s does a booming business, and occasionally gets visited by one or more of Freedom’s resident heroes, making it all the more popular for tourists hoping to “spot a superhero.”
