“Come See About Me: The Mary Wilson Supremes Collection” is a new exhibit at the African American Museum in Philadelphia that will celebrate the Supremes’ historic imprint on American culture, women’s history, music and fashion. This groundbreaking exhibit features over thirty of the Supremes’ most glamorous gowns along with rarely seen video footage, album covers, and historic photos.

The Supremes was an American female singing group and the premier act of Motown Records during the 1960s. They were the most commercially successful of Motown's acts and are, to date, America's most successful vocal group with twelve number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Most of these hits were written and produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team, Holland–Dozier–Holland. At their peak in the mid-1960s, the Supremes rivaled the Beatles in worldwide popularity.
