    Superman Super Museum Metropolis Illionis: A tour in pics made just for you guys!

    Hey everyone! My kids were out on Spring Break this past week and my wife and I had taken four days off work in a row so we could do fun stuff. We live only an hour or so from Metropolis Illinois, "The Home of Superman!" so we decided to take a trip out there for the first time and visit the Super Museum, and it was great!

    I know many of you may have never heard of this place or may live way too far away to ever get to come here, so I took TONS of pics for you guys. Literally. TONS. I've put some of them up in my Flickr album and will gladly post higher rez full versions of them for your pleasure if you'd like as I know studying the details in some of these pics becomes a Where's Waldo type affair. It is no trouble at all, just let me know which number pic it is and I'll post it!

    This is only part of my pics however, because there are over 200 of them, so I'm still working on them being re-sized and stuff. Also, if there would be a better way to share them with you all please let me know, because I also have hundreds of pics from the Americana Museum I took specifically to share with you guys and gals, tons of toys and stuff there as well.

    Anywho, here's a small bit of what's coming and a link to my Flickr Album of them:

    I took close up shots of many many of the shelves and items as well so like I said there are plenty of pics and much more to come!

    ...and here's a pic of what it's all about:


    MUCH MORE TO COME!

                You are right...I'm flipping out right now...




                I'm going through all the picture...and clicking on the large size option...so I can see them in more detail.

                I really love the way they set up these Captain Action Superman & Superboy...great packaging...
