We are proud to announce our latest exhibition, Dave Stevenson and The Art of the Map, that is currently on display in our Theater Lobby. One of his maps details the migration of the Disney family from Europe to America...
This is the first of a five-part series that looks back at the Museum's roots and its journey to opening day, Oct. 1st, 2009.
Walt Disney said it best: "I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment." And while it's true that Walt was pushing the envelope long before YouTube, we think it's a good way to launch our FIRST ANNIVERSARY VIDEO CONTEST! So pick up your cameras and get the creative juices flowing because it's time for YOU to explore and experiment!
“It’s like a small movie poster?”
That is in fact exactly what a Theater Lobby Card is, a small movie poster.
Decorating theater lobby walls in the bygone era of cinema, Lobby Cards provided audiences with a taste of what was to come at their local movie house. Featured in the August installment of Look Closer, Lobby Cards promoting The Swiss Family Robinson illustrate the action, laughs, and drama of Walt Disney’s largest live action film. The complete collection of eight cards features the stars of the film, both human and animal, as well as the occasional pirate in perilous circumstances.
