PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tickets are now on sale for the world premiere of Disney100: The Exhibition, debuting at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia on February 18, 2023. Created for the 100-year celebration of The Walt Disney Company, the exhibition invites guests to step into their favorite stories using innovative and immersive technology throughout ten galleries in the 15,000-square-foot exhibit.

The Walt Disney Archives is opening its vault of treasures, showcasing more than 250 of its "Crown Jewels," rarely seen original artworks and artifacts, costumes and props, and other memorabilia—five of which were unveiled today, including:
  • Disneyland Employee Badge #1 (1955), issued to Walt Disney
  • Steamboat Whistle in Steamboat Willie (1928)
  • Prop Storybook featured in Snow White and Seven Dwarfs (1937)
  • Skywalker Lightsaber Hilt from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019), used by Daisy Ridley
  • Magic Ring from The Shaggy Dog (1959), used by Tommy Kirk

It was also announced that composer Steve Mazzaro, whose work can be heard on the soundtracks of such Disney-produced films as The Lion King (2019), Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, and The Lone Ranger has composed an original soundtrack for the exhibit blending themes of such beloved classics as "When You Wish Upon A Star" from Pinocchio (1940) and "Let it Go" from Frozen (2013) with a new theme crafted exclusively for the exhibition.

Also exclusive to this exhibition, Disney has curated special behind-the-scenes glimpses into the creation of the company's most popular characters, films, shows, and attractions—from Disneyland to Walt Disney World and beyond. The ten magnificent and imaginatively themed galleries, all featuring moving stories, unique interactive installations, and exciting background information, will take guests on a journey through 100 years of The Walt Disney Company, celebrating the classics from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Strange World, as well as the latest members of the Disney family—Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, and National Geographic.

Exhibitors today shared the first look at six gallery renderings, including:

Where It All Began

This gallery introduces visionary filmmaker and innovator Walt Disney and his philosophies that laid the foundation for the Walt Disney Company. Guests will explore his story from before Mickey Mouse to Mickey's debut in Steamboat Willie in 1928 to the fantastic breakthroughs in animation during the early 1930s.
