Disney100: The Exhibition Is Coming To Chicago November 18
Disney100: The Exhibition is once again on the move and will open in Chicago on November 18.
The Walt Disney Archives and Semmel Exhibitions announced today that the DIsney100 exhibition will open at the 35,000-square-foot Exhibition Hub Art Center.
For the exhibit, the facade of the building will be transformed and rebranded through Disney magic to include stunning visuals.
What Visitors Can Expect
Inside Disney100: The Exhibition, guests can experience ten immersive galleries with visual, audio, and interactive elements as well as more than 250 unique works of art, artifacts, memorabilia, costumes, and props.
“It took several years to plan and assemble the artifacts for Disney100: The Exhibition. And many of them will be on display for Disney fans for the first time,” said Christoph Scholz, Director, of Semmel Exhibitions. “Most of the artifacts are presented from the Walt Disney Archives collection with some additional treasures from Marvel Studios, the Pixar Living Archives, the Walt Disney Animation Research Library, and Walt Disney Imagineering, including some that will be displayed for the first time in Chicago.”
Returning To Where It All Began
Bringing Disney100: The Exhibition to Chicago will have special meaning, as Walt Disney was born in the Windy City.
“We are incredibly excited to bring this fantastic exhibition to Chicago,” said Rebecca Cline, Director, of Walt Disney Archives. “We can’t wait for guests to experience some of their favorite Disney stories, characters, and attractions in new and immersive ways as we celebrate all the wonderful worlds of Disney.”
“Chicago is proud to host Disney100: The Exhibition. Returning to the very city where the Walt Disney legend first began,” said Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. “We welcome Disney fans from all corners of the world to enjoy this immersive exhibition. And spend time in the city that inspired the imagination of a young Walt Disney, one of the 20th century’s most influential Americans.”
