Saving The Day At The V&A…

On loan from the BFI Archive and part of a vast collection of wardrobe chronicling over 100 years of cinema, The London Victoria & Albert museum will be exhibiting a complete costume from Superman IV: The Quest For Peace from next week.

The Hollywood Costume exhibition runs until January 27th 2013 and covers three expansive galleries.  Mounted in a flying position and free from inhibiting plexiglass, this is a rare opportunity to see one of the few genuine Superman costumes worn by Christopher Reeve up close and in detail.  The exhibition also has the clever feature of LCD screens with stills of the actor’s faces in place of generic mannequins.

SUPERMANIA will be bringing you a full report from the site with accompanying photographs soon – thanks to Zimbio.com for the exclusive behind the scenes pics above…
