Cleveland Pop Culture

From Superman to SNL and everything in between.

The Land of Paint and Pop

Takashi Murakami headlines a "Super" summer in Cleveland.

From an iconic Japanese artist and the world's first superhero, to 50 years of Saturday Night Live and an impossibly cramped concert schedule, summer in The Land is ready to POP.

Legendary Japanese artist Takashi Murakami brings the singular exhibit "Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow" exclusively to The Land May 25 - Sept. 7 at Cleveland Museum of Art. From the bright, joyful flower collages to the 3D-animated sculptures, trust us, you’ll want to see this in person.

In July, James Gunn's filmed-in-CLE "Superman" brings the iconic, Cleveland-born superhero (sorry, not sorry, Krypton) back to the silver screen, and we're showing out with hometown pride for the big blue boy scout. Meanwhile, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame celebrates another American institution when their new exhibit, "SNL 50: Ladies & Gentlemen...50 Years of Music" opens to the public in May, complete with more cowbell.

If that wasn't enough, we've got a loaded slate of concerts saying "hello, Cleveland" all summer long, world premiere runs of touring shows "Hell's Kitchen" and "The Notebook" and season-long celebrations of all things Pop Culture in CLE from Chef Boyardee to Drew Carey.

Click below for everything you need to know about Takashi Murakami's one-of-a-kind exhibit, only in Cleveland this summer.

James Gunn's "Superman" soars in theaters July 11

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a Clevelander?!
 
Superman, the world’s first costumed comic book superhero and an enduring symbol of truth, justice and the American way, is recognizable by practically everyone around the world. But did you know that the last son of Krypton was actually born in Cleveland?
 
Writer Jerry Siegel and Artist Joe Shuster, themselves the sons of immigrants, came up with the idea for this enduring symbol of hope while living in the Glenville neighborhood on Cleveland’s east side. From his debut in Action Comics #1 in 1938 to this summer’s premiere of James Gunn’s “Superman”, filmed right on the streets of Clark Kent’s real hometown, Superman is a point of pride for Clevelanders everywhere.

Live from CLE, it's Saturday Night!

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and “Saturday Night Live” have teamed up for “SNL: Ladies & Gentlemen… 50 Years of Music,” opening May 23. The exhibit follows the show’s flow, from cold open to “Goodnights,” with immersive video, a virtual experience and a walkable Studio 8H recreation — no security badge needed. Fans can relive iconic performances from Blondie to Billie Eilish, see props and costumes, snap SNL-style photos and catch an exclusive 20-minute cut of Questlove’s new doc. Bonus: a guidebook with a foreword by Fred Armisen, because someone has to unpack the emotional depth of “More Cowbell.”
