The Walt Disney Family Museum

The Walt Disney Family Museum presents the fascinating story and achievements of Walt Disney, the man who raised animation to an artform, transformed the film industry, tirelessly pursued innovation, and created a global, yet distinctively American legacy. Opened in October 2009, the 40,000-square-foot facility features innovative technology alongside a vast collection of historic materials and artifacts that bring Disney's achievements to life. There is a myriad of interactive galleries, which present early drawings and animation, movies, music, listening stations, a spectacular model of Disneyland, and much more. The museum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in the scenic Presidio of San Francisco. The Walt Disney Family Museum has created many world-class exhibitions, such as Disney and Dal: Architects of the Imagination; MAGIC, COLOR, FLAIR: The World of Mary Blair; Water to Paper, Paint to Sky: The Art of Tyrus Wong; and Mickey Mouse: From Walt to the World, several of which have traveled to other museums around the world. The most recent, The Walt Disney Studios and World War II, is the 27th original exhibition organized by the museum since 2012, and will be on view to members on Thursday, December 3 and the general public from Friday, December 4, 2020 in the Diane Disney Miller Exhibition Hall.
