In 100 years, the Walt Disney Company has grown from a small animation studio to a multi-billion dollar entertainment conglomerate.
The company was founded on October 16th 1923 and to mark its 100th anniversary, a huge collection of more than 250 rarely seen artefacts, props and artwork is on display.
According to BBC News, it is the biggest collection the company’s archives has ever put together.
One of the first locations on Disney’s centenary exhibition is London in the UK.
Its display includes the glass slippers from 2015’s ‘Cinderella’, the leather wallet used to create the sound of the dwarfs’ squeaky shoes in 1937’s ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ and the St Paul’s Cathedral snow globe from ‘Mary Poppins’ released in 1964.
There are also models of Disney’s iconic castle.
BBC News says there are two similar exhibitions that will travel internationally.
While one unit will remain in London until January 2024, the second unit will be shown in the US city of Chicago from November 2023, with more locations around the world to be announced soon.
