Everyone knows by now that Black Panther is something special, and one of the most prestigious museums in the world has decided to recognize that.

A handful of artifacts from February’s Wakandan adventure will be featured at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture this fall. As of now they’ll be there for only a limited time — Oct. 24-27 — as part of the museum’s first-ever African American Film Festival.

Visiting Marvel fans will get to see a number of familiar items, including the Black Panther suit that T’Challa wore during Captain America: Civil War and the early portions of Black Panther. The exhibit will also feature a signed shooting script and an assortment of behind the scenes photos. Read more…

Looking for something to cry at today? You’re in luck! The Obamas just unveiled their official portraits.

It should go without saying, but our hearts were 100 percent not ready.

First up was Michelle, who worked with Baltimore-based artist Amy Sherald. Sherald painted Michelle seated in a dress designed by Michelle Smith’s label Milly.
