PBS did a terrific job showcasing an amazing exhibit. I am glad to see that so many people and organizations from Zack and Deborah Snyder to Warner Bros. to Dave Gibbons to Peter, Ellen and all the great MoCCA volunteers came together to make this such a well rounded exhibit. This is a great example of all the impressive work MoCCA does.
Kudos!

A terrific segment that really covers a great exhibition… I hope that 13 continues to cover this dynamic institution much needed and appreciated in NYC and beyond…

I love when there are many frames of reference on a subject. When something sparks my interest I want to take in every aspect of it. I would love to view the exhibit. Great Work!
