The Walt Disney Museum
The fascinating and inspiring story of Walt Disney, whose artistry,
imagination and vision helped define 20th-century America, has been brought to life at
The Walt Disney Family Museum in The Presidio of San Francisco. The Museum
illuminates Walt Disney’s tremendous successes, disappointments, and unyielding
optimism as he worked tirelessly to enhance the art of animation. The creator of Mickey
Mouse, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disneyland and much more, he was a risk-taker who influenced popular culture through animated and live-action films, television
programs, theme parks and new technologies. Co-founded by Walt’s daughter, Diane
Disney Miller, and grandson, Walter E.D. Miller, the Museum is owned and operated by
the Walt Disney Family Foundation, a non-profit foundation.
Museum Exhibits: Located in a historic brick building, once a barracks, on the main post of San Francisco’s
Presidio, the 40,000 square foot Museum features the newest technology and historic materials and
artifacts to bring Disney’s achievements to life, with interactive galleries that include early drawings and
animation, movies, music, listening stations, a 14-foot model of Disneyland and much more. The Museum
tells the story of the man behind the myth in Disney’s own voice and in contemporary exhibits that feature
state-of-the-art technologies, listening stations, more than 200 video screens and a 14-foot model of
Disneyland. Visitors can also enjoy the Museum store, and the 114-seat, Fantasia-themed theater, which
shows Disney classics six days a week.
