Eight fearless photos as superheroes take over Royal Armouries Museum for action-packed week of fun

The Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds was transformed into a superhero headquarters for an action-packed week of entertainment.

Superhero Week, which saw costumed characters take over the building at Leeds Dock, brought an exciting programme of activities, demonstrations and shows.

Fans of all ages stepped into a world of extraordinary powers, enjoying meet-and-greet sessions with their favourite heroes, testing their skills at the Superhero Academy, and unleashing their creativity by designing their own comic strips.

Meanwhile, a dedicated superhero trail led visitors through the museum’s galleries, while three adrenaline-fueled superhero shows kept audiences on the edge of their seats.

Our photographer was there to capture all of the best moments from this unforgettable week -
