Wow this is incredible! First we had the World Premiere of the Harry Potter exhibit and now Philly is getting Disney! This will not only help the Franklin Institute, but will help bring tourism to Philly.
Here are the details from the Inquirer:
A whole new world is coming to the Franklin Institute next year, with the premiere of “Disney100: The Exhibition,” an immersive celebration of the Walt Disney Co.’s 100-year anniversary.
Officials announced Saturday at the “D23 Expo: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event” that the traveling exhibit will make its first stop in Philly, when it opens on Feb. 18, 2023.
While details about the exhibit were sparse, a news release from the Franklin said it will span 15,000 square feet and consist of 10 large, themed galleries “with numerous cutting-edge installations” that will allow “guests to step into their favorite stories using innovation and immersive technology.”
The exhibit will also feature hundreds of “extraordinary objects” from the Walt Disney Archives, including more than 250 rarely seen original artworks, artifacts, costumes, props, and other memorabilia.
Ticket presales for the exhibit will begin this fall and the show will run through next summer.
