Cologne Marvel Exhibition Walkthrough – Odysseum Köln (Now closed forever) 4K
Date: June 22nd 2025 Welcome to my hometown Cologne, Germany! This is a very special walking tour: A complete walk through the Marvel exhibition on it’s last day at Cologne Odysseum, an exhibition space for fun and science since 2009. Not only is it the last day of this exhibition, it is also the last day of the Odysseum! After Marvel it’s closing permanently but will reopen somewhere else in Cologne soon. This building will be converted into a school. Another new thing: For the first time, I’ve created a walking tour from multiple clips. So far, I’ve only uploaded one-takes for simplicity’s sake. So, here we are at the beginning of the exhibition… Um, no, to be honest, it’s actually the end. I only realized after I finished my video recording that I had, without knowing it, started at the end of the exhibition. Haha! There weren’t any clear signs; I just went where people were standing. So don’t be surprised why the beginnings of Marvel are only shown at the end of the exhibition. Ok, if I was a comic character, I would be this lady or what does that mean?! Well armed, at least. The X-Men are my favorite Marvel characters (along with Spider-Man). It’s hard to believe they’ve been around since 1963! I still consider the X-Men movies to be the best Marvel adaptations, especially the first few. I’m not so keen on the Avengers movies, though; there are too many characters, too little story… Wolverine’s claws from X-Men 2 (2003). I confess, I haven’t watched the Deadpool movies yet. I really need to catch up. Ok, this is the end of the exhibition. Or the start, actually… Thanks for watching! Please don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe! Goodbye and “auf Wiedersehen”! Simon
Take a full 4K walkthrough of the Marvel exhibition at Odysseum Cologne — filmed on its very last day before the adventure & science museum permanently closed its doors. It was an unbearable 35°C (95 °F) outside, so an air-conditioned exhibition was just the thing.
This might be the only complete video tour of this limited-time exhibition available online. I couldn’t find another one on YouTube except vlogs that don’t show everything.
Discover life-sized Marvel superheroes, interactive displays, and cinematic installations celebrating the Marvel universe. X-Men, Spider-Man, Hulk, The Avengers, Thor, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider and many more.
Marvel Comics is an American comic book publisher based in New York City. Along with DC Comics, it is one of the world’s largest publishers of this genre. Marvel emerged from Timely Publications, founded in 1939 by Martin Goodman, which serialized the adventures of superheroes such as Captain America, the Human Torch, Namor the Sub-Mariner, and Patsy Walker during World War II. During World War II, there were a total of 160 different superhero titles from more than two dozen publishers, with a total circulation of 300 million copies and annual sales of $30 million.
After the boom that comics had experienced in the USA in the 1930s and 1940s, times took a turn for the worse for Timely in the 1950s. Comics were accused of exerting a harmful influence on children.
In the early 1960s, inspired by DC Comics’ resurgence through the revival of superheroes like the Flash, the publisher also bet on a superhero renaissance—and it was a success. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s The Fantastic Four was a huge success and was soon followed by a flood of other superhero titles. In 1963 the first issue of the X-Men comics was published.
So far, I’ve preferred to upload only one-takes. However, I also wanted to include a small exterior shot and a short shot of the entrance area in the video, and doing all of that in one take would have been too cumbersome with ticket checks. Also, at the end, while walking through again, I accidentally noticed that I hadn’t filmed Wolverine’s claws from “X-Men 2.” Of course, those had to be included, too. That all went faster than I expected; I’ll probably do it more often in the future and upload longer walking tours.

Hallo allerseits!
Heute mal eine ganz besondere Walking Tour: In diesem Video seht ihr einen vollständigen Rundgang durch die Marvel-Ausstellung im Odysseum Köln – gefilmt am allerletzten Tag, bevor das Museum dauerhaft geschlossen wurde. Draußen brutale 35 Grad (ca.), drinnen angenehm kühl. 🙂
Soweit ersichtlich, ist dies das einzige komplette Walkthrough-Video der Marvel-Ausstellung im Netz.
Gezeigt werden lebensgroße Marvel-Helden, interaktive Stationen und spektakuläre Kulissen aus dem Marvel-Universum.
🎥 Aufnahme: 22. Juni 2025
📌 Ort: Odysseum Köln (jetzt dauerhaft geschlossen)
Das Odysseum in Köln-Kalk ist nun dauerhaft geschlossen und soll in eine Gesamtschule umgewandelt werden. Allerdings soll es bald in Köln-Ehrenfeld weitergehen, mehr Infos gibt es aber zur Zeit noch nicht.
Und dann noch eine kleine Premiere: Bisher habe ich es vorgezogen nur One-Takes hochzuladen. Allerdings wollte ich auch eine kleine Aussenaufnahme, sowie eine kurze Aufnahme vom Eingnagsbereich mit ins Video packen und das alles in einer Aufnahme zu machen wäre mit Ticketkontrolle zu umständlich. Zudem ist mir am Ende beim erneuten Durchlaufen noch zufällig aufgefallen, dass ich Wolverins Krallen von “X-Men 2” nicht gefilmt hatte. Die mussten natürlich auch noch rein.
Das ging schneller als gedacht, wird ich wohl in Zukunft öfter machen und so dann auch längere Walking Tours hochladen.
