Disney 100: The Exhibition invites guests to step into their favorite Disney stories in 10 galleries spread across 15,000 square feet of exhibit space, powered by innovative and immersive technology. The Walt Disney Archives has spent the past five years collecting original, rarely-seen artwork, artifacts, costumes, props, and other pieces for an exhibition celebrating his 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company. We have amassed over 250 memorabilia collections. Most of the objects are props on loan from Marvel Studios, along with a selection of artwork from the Walt Disney Animation Research Library, Walt Disney Imagining Art Library, and Pixar Living Archives. and costumes are from the Walt Disney Archives.
