A concert hall in Snape Maltings has become the new home of costumes from Marvel superhero film, Black Panther.

Visitors to Snape Malting's Concert Hall can see the Black Panther suit, worn by the late Chadwick Boseman, along with the tribal outfit of warrior Okoye, and a costume worn by Shuri, the Princess of Wakanda.

The clothes are part of the Power of Stories exhibition, which was previously seen in Ipswich's Christ Church Mansion last year.

Exhibition curator Devi Singh hopes the exhibit will empower minority communities: "There is a big group of minorities in the East Anglian and rural countryside. It's about empowering them and making them feel relevant for the stories that they have...

"I hope that we are promoting an open heart. The exhibition is very powerful and I hope that someone takes something away that's nurturing."
