It's been 10 years since Iron Man first popped on to our cinema screens, spawning one after another movie, creating one of the biggest movie franchise out there that now it's been named as a universe - Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Jumping out of the Marvel Comics, are the superheroes we know as the Avengers. Whilst the cast who plays the superheroes assemble to get their very own commemorative tattoo, we the Marvel fans here in Singapore, get to indulge ourselves in the World of Marvel at the 'Marvel Studios: Ten Years of Heroes' exhibition.
10 years, 19 movies all compacted into a gallery space within the ArtScience Museum with 10 themed sections for you to step into the MCU. I was there for a media preview, took a plethora of photos and here's 10 things I love about the exhibition...
1) Movie Posters GalleryEvery single Marvel movie poster featured alongside with a little playback, summary and categorized according to order will bring you down memory lane. Which ones have you watched before? Did you miss any of them? If I could have a special room for mementos, this dream room will definitely be the one.
2) Light Projection Iron ManEntering the Stark Tower, stands a white Iron Man statue. The Hall of Armors pop up on the screen behind and light projection via mapping is cast onto the statue to show you the evolution of armors Iron Man has worked on. Going from Mark I to Mark XLVI, you will get to see how the pieces come together and what upgrades have been made.
3) Thor's HammerStepping out of the Bifrost, brings you to the Sakaar's gladiator scene where the iconic battle between Thor and Hulk from 'Thor: Ragnorok' happened. That may be a magnificent scene to marvel at but what's hiding at a corner is the Mjolnir. I tried, but guess I wasn't the chosen one, it's your turn now...
4) I Am GrootOne of my favorite characters from the MCU, makes an appearance too. I grooved to the soundtracks from the Guardians Of The Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 and dance along with Baby Groot!
6) Wakanda ForeverYes, you can travel to the secretive Wakanda without the need for your passport. At this gallery, you can enter the Panther Cave to meet Black Panther himself and explore their tech. I do love the whole setup but if there was a section for Shuri's tech lab, it will be perfect!
7) Microscopic WorldI was tracing the little ants on the floor and popped into this space, wondering what is there to see. Then I noticed 2 magnifying glasses which behind stood Ant-Man and The Wasp. So, this is how small they are?! I could pinch them with my fingers! Well, prepare your microlens for this gallery (don't be like me) coz they are very detailed and you wouldn't want to miss it.
8) ThanosAt this last section of the exhibition, stands Thanos and his Infinity Gauntlet, where you can activate it with each of the Infinity Stones via an interactive display. Though he is being named as the villain of the MCU, I can't help feeling in awe for this character. He had a mission and spent all his efforts to fulfill that; all the determination and "discipline" in improving and empowering himself, is definitely the kind of spirit I look up to and hope to have.
9) Group PhotoRemember that famous Oscar Selfie by Ellen DeGeneres? Top that at the photo wall upon exit with an epic MCU wefie. The whole cast of the Marvel movie series, joined with the director and even Stan Lee have all lined up for that shot with you!
10) Exclusive MerchandiseDon't rush out of the exhibition just yet. The souvenir store is there waiting and right at the middle, you can spot these black t-shirts with a number 10 printed on the back. These are sold exclusively to commemorate the 10th anniversary MCU and you can choose different designs that feature a silhouette of your favorite superheroes like Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, etc...
So there you have it, these are the 10 little things I love about the 'Marvel Studios: Ten Years of Heroes' Exhibition. There are so much more for you to explore and photo spots for all your social media sharing. Be sure to head on over to the ArtScience Museum to check it out.
