The Walt Disney Family Museum
By Joshua P. TewoldeSlide2
The Walt Disney Family Museum is an American museum that features the life and legacy of Walt Disney. The museum is located in The Presidio of San Francisco, part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco. Slide3
The 40,000 square foot space in the main museum building 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, and a 12-foot diameter model of Disneyland.
The lobby displays 248 awards that Disney won during his career, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom and many Academy Awards--including the honorary award for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which consists of one full-sized Oscar alongside seven miniature ones.
There is also a Fantasia-inspired state-of-the-art digital Theater on the lower level of the museum, which screens Disney classics daily.There are ten permanent galleries, starting with Walt Disney's ancestral history and ending with his death on December 15th, 1966.[2]
Pieces related to Walt Disney's miniature Carolwood Pacific Railroad (built in his backyard), including his beloved Lilly Belle locomotive, are on display at the museum as well.Slide4
Randy Malamud of the Chronicle of Higher Education wrote, "It's a collection of ideas and documents, a diverse array of archival, filmic, and pop-cultural texts that historicizes Disney's work and compels us to think twice about how we appraise it. The museum energizes the fascinatingly charged scholarly debate that the Disney phenomenon has provoked, shaking the worn, staid, sometimes cynical images we have of Disney and his empire, bringing to them renewed color and motion."Slide5
Edward Rothstein of The New York Times wrote, "Given the heritage of the place, you expect to see a ride at the Walt Disney Family Museum . . . And in a way, there is one, since the museum does just what Disney thought a ride should do when he created Disneyland more than half a century ago: it tells a story. And while the museum is almost leisurely in relating its narrative, only here and there veering into uncharted terrain, and while children will quickly pass by many sections that will fascinate their elders, there are more than enough thrills for everyone."Slide6
I’’ve learned a lot of history movies and toons that Walt Disney made, and it has made me to someday walk onto his footsteps.
