This museum contains "the absolute largest Superman collection on the planet." Movie props and costumes, toys from various decades and even life-size figures of Superman's friends and foes are on display here.

television shows are some of the biggest draws, but there's also sporting events, talent shows, live music and entertainment, outdoor screenings of classic Superman serials and films, carnival rides, lots of food and even an annual "bank robbery" where Superman never fails to step in and stop the crooks.
