A SUPER time is in store when Rugby Art Gallery and Museum (RAGM) hosts a celebration of superheroes and comic books later this month.
Transformers Optimus Prime and Bumblebee will welcome visitors to the Night At Your Museum event, which features a host of superhero and comic book inspired arts activities.
Visitors can fly like a superhero courtesy of green screen visual effects, and help build a superhero city bathed in ultraviolet light.
A Night At Your Museum also includes the opportunity to get hands-on with creatures which have inspired countless comic strip characters – including spiders, insects and chameleons.
Other activities include superhero drawing and stop motion animation workshops, storytelling sessions, a chill-out zone, and messy play sessions for the under fives.
Visitors can also meet real-life local heroes from the police and fire service.
Rugby Borough Council’s leisure and wellbeing spokesman Coun Howard Roberts said: “Comic strips and superheroes have long fuelled the imaginations of people of all ages, inspiring dedicated fans across the world and dozens of blockbuster movies, video games and television series.
“A Night At Your Museum gives visitors the opportunity to explore the worlds of comic book heroes and enjoy the magic of superhero storytelling.”
A Night At Your Museum takes place at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum on Friday October 21.
Admission can be booked for 5.30pm, 6.30pm or 7.30pm, with places priced at £3.50. Admission is free for under two-year-olds.
