Disney100 in London | What is the exhibition, where is it, when does it run until and how to get tickets?

Today officially marks 100 years of Disney, with celebrations taking place around the world as the House of Mouse turns a century, with Mickey not looking a day older than when he was first travelling on that steamboat back in 1928; subsequently, Walt Disney began his legacy shortly afterwards.

To celebrate a little closer to home, Disney has launched a brand new exhibition celebrating 100 years of the beloved company, with ‘Disney100’ opening in London this morning with what is being described as a treasure trove of rarely seen artefacts, works of art and memorabilia from the awe-inspiring archive that Disney has. 

Across ten different galleries, the works of Disney’s first feature film, ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ can be seen alongside new arrivals from some of Disney’s recent acquisitions, including both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Star Wars Universe.

Some of the artefacts immersed within the galleries in this unique exhibit include an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit graphite drawing from ‘Sleigh Bells, and a story script page from Mickey’s historic debut in ‘Steamboat Willie’, the Dutch-language prop storybook that opens ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’, a crystalline glass slipper from the live-action ‘Cinderella,’ an animation maquette for Remy from ‘Ratatouille’ and Scarlett Johansson’s costume she wore as Black Widow.

Becky Cline, Executive Producer of the exhibition and Director of the Walt Disney Archives added: “The Walt Disney Archives spent years planning and curating more than 250 objects to capture the 100 years of storytelling, creativity, and unparalleled magic of The Walt Disney Company.” 

“We cannot wait for fans and families to experience this once-in-a-lifetime event celebrating the iconic characters and stories that have captured the hearts of audiences around the globe.”
