Superman’s Cleveland shines a super spotlight on the superhero, featuring exhibits, speakers, workshops, book discussions and more. Superman’s Cleveland is supported by Ohio Humanities and hosted by the Rust Belt Humanities Lab at Ursuline College and the Ohio Center for the Book at Cleveland Public Library.
