The Disney Gallery

Visit the Main Street Opera House to explore the evolution of Walt Disney's dream of the Disneyland Resort and Audio-Animatronics technology!

Beginning July 17, 2025, a new exhibit will feature images, art and artifacts—some never before seen—that show Disneyland Park before, during and after Walt's vision became a reality. Walt Disney Imagineering and the Walt Disney Archives have curated memorabilia from the very early stages of Disneyland Park and throughout its rich history.

As you journey further into the lobby of the Opera House, you'll discover another special exhibit about the history of Audio-Animatronics technology. Learn about Walt's inspiration and see firsthand the inner workings of this technology, and how far Audio-Animatronics figures have advanced through the years.

Additionally, more than 30 artifacts from The Walt Disney Family Museum will be on display in the gallery, including original items from Walt's private apartment above the Fire Station on Main Street. The museum is also loaning some of Walt's accolades for Guests to enjoy, including his 1955 Emmy award for the Walt Disney's Disneyland TV show.
