Marvel’s Avengers STATION at London ExCel

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love a good superhero. Good job really given the fact that any type of Marvel film which gets released these days is a HUGE hit.

With this in mind, Marvel‘s Avengers STATION is now open at London ExCel. This is following a hugely successful run in New York, Seoul, Paris, Singapore, Beijing, Taipei and Las Vegas, where it has set up a permanent exhibition.

The exhibition is a multi-room experience and gives fans of all ages the chance to look into how the super-workings operate as well as find out a bit more about the back story of each of The Avengers during their training to become an agent of the STATION

STATION stands for Science Training and Tactical Intelligence Operative Network, where guests will step inside the popular films and become part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe storyline, whether trying to lift Thor’s hammer or taking a sneaky peak at Bruce Banners Lab.

My sister, Cressida, along with a friend, went along to the recent Press Day for the opening of this great new exhibition to see what it was all about.

The exhibition gives you the chance to train as an Avenger with the opportunity to interact with props and the well-known characters from the films.

Highlights of the Avengers STATION Exhibition

These are just a few of the highlights:

The Thor Observatory – dedicated to Thor Odinson, King of Asgard and son of Odin. Test your worthiness by attempting to lift Thor’s hammer, Mjölnir, view Thor’s outfits and study the universe and its current parameters using NASA’s EYE on the exoplanets program.

Captain America – Check out Captain America’s personnel file and explore the cutting-edge science that made Steve Rogers into Captain America.

Iron Man Engineering Bay – trainee agents have the chance to not only get up close and personal with Iron Man’s iconic suits of armour but also experience what simulated flight inside the suit would be like.

The Hulk – Ever wondered what Bruce Banner’s Lab looks like? Explore the Bio Lab transformation of Dr Banners superior brain as he morphs into The Hulk.

How the experience has been put together

With the fact that this exhibition has been opened in a number of different countries, the London ExCel was still able to offer a world first – which isn’t easy in the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Avengers STATION experience in London includes never before seen character displays on Black Panther, The Wasp, and Thanos.

The experience is not only fun but educational too. NASA have got in on the act in order to raise the quality of the experience by providing a number of different technological aspects. There are comprehensive educational materials available for teachers, plus supporting materials created by Quantum Victoria. This makes it a fantastic learning experience for children in higher education to assist them in following STEM pathways. They have done this by amplifying the scientific themes and characters that are core to Marvel’s storytelling.
