Now that you've had time to see Wakanda Forever, continue to further immerse yourself in the film's stunning fictional world by stopping by MoPOP for the ongoing Ruth E. Carter exhibit. More than 60 of the Oscar-winning designer's costumes are on display, including costumes from Black Panther, for which she became the first African American to win an Oscar in the Costume Design category. She was also responsible for bringing characters to life through their clothing in more than 40 other films, including Malcom X, Do the Right Thing, Selma, and Coming 2 America, all of which are represented in MoPOP's current collection. The exhibit also delves into Carter's process—including sketches and mood boards—and features artwork from Black Panther muralist Brandon Sadler.
