To celebrate the 100-year celebration of The Walt Disney Company, Disney100: The Exhibition was created. It features ten galleries showcasing the history and evolution of the Disney movies and parks in a 15,000-square-foot exhibit. The Walt Disney Archives is sharing more than 250 of its “Crown Jewels,” rarely seen original artworks and artifacts, costumes and props, and other memorabilia.
We finally caught it a few days ago in Philadelphia. It was really neat to see some never before seen props and learn more about everything that the Disney company has done over the years. As you’ve probably noticed by now, we are big fans of the Disney parks and movies and have even been to the Disney Museum in San Francisco, but we still learned some new things. This is like a small subset of the archives there.
It is definitely a must-visit for any Disney fan if you’re nearby. I wouldn’t say to make a big trip of it, but if you’re going to visit other sites in the area, it’s a cool stop to include in your itinerary. We went through it in about 1.5 hours but you can take longer if you stop to read every single display slowly.
In the United States, this exhibit debuted in Philadelphia last February but will end its run soon on August 27, 2023. It is supposed to travel to Chicago and Kansas City next.
Internationally, it debuted in Munich and is scheduled to move to London this October.
These are some pics from our visit, but I took a ton more that I’ll post on my Instagram (Adventures_By_Anne). I won’t post everything so that I don’t spoil it for you though. Check it out!
