Opening in 2023 in Philadelphia (USA), ongoing
Over the past 100 years, Disney has brought its iconic stories and characters to life in new and innovative ways, becoming part of the global culture and creating generations of memories for billions- we are very honored to have been chosen by Disney to create this exhibition and to present it to a worldwide audience.
In the biggest Disney exhibition ever the Walt Disney Archives opens its vault of treasures, showcasing hundreds of extraordinary objects, including Disney’s “crown jewels” – more than 250 rarely-seen original artworks and artifacts, costumes and props, and other memorabilia.
Disney100: The Exhibition invites guests to step into their favorite stories using innovation and immersive technology throughout ten galleries in the 1500 square-meter exhibit.
The exhibition celebrated its world premiere in Philadelphia in February 2023, followed by Munich, London, Chicago and Kansas City and is currently touring the world.
„A space where visitors can encounter their favorite characters, find surprises around each corner, and celebrate a century of the stories, characters, and experiences that Disney has given to the world.”
Paula Sigman-Lowery, Chief Curator
