The museum has chosen to celebrate the film and its impact on society, saying “The film, like the museum, provides a fuller story of black culture and identity.” They also acknowledged the history of the character, which was the first black superhero in comics, and created during the height of the civil rights movement.
There is no current timeline on the opening of the exhibit. But soon, you can visit and celebrate Black Panther’s legacy and contribution to all of our lives. And… if you have been spending your time wishing you could just get a little closer to some things Chadwick Boseman touched… now you have your chance.
