"Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" Costume on Display at the Young V&A Museum in London, England
Posted on February 20, 2024 by Neil Cole
An original Superman costume worn by actor Christopher Reeve in "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" is currently on display at the Young V&A Museum in London, England.
In 1987, Reeve reprised the title role in this superhero adventure about Superman's efforts to eliminate nuclear weapons on Earth while also engaging in battle with Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow). Sidney J. Furie directed the film which also stars Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor, Margot Kidder as Lois Lane, and Jackie Cooper as Perry White.
The costume is part of the British Film Institute (BFI) costume collection which was originally displayed at the now shuttered Museum of the Moving Image which was located on the South Bank in London between 1988 and 1999. The collection is made up of British, European, American and Japanese films and covers the period from the silent film era to the mid-1990s. It contains a wealth of historic and significant film costumes worn by major performers and designed by some of the 20th century's most important film costume designers. The collection was transferred to the V&A in 2015.
