The Disney Gallery
The Disney Gallery is an exhibition in the Main Street Opera House. You'll see photos, art and objects that show how Disneyland Park came to be. Some of it has never been shown before.
The concept
Since 17 July 2025 there has been a new exhibition about the development of Walt Disney's dream. You see the park before, during and after construction. Walt Disney Imagineering and the Walt Disney Archives gathered pieces from the very first years of Disneyland and from the rest of the park's history.
The Experience
The Walt Disney Family Museum has loaned more than 30 objects. They include original items from Walt's private apartment above the fire station on Main Street, U.S.A. Some of his awards are on display too. Further into the lobby there's an exhibition on the history of Audio-Animatronics. You see how that technology works and how far it has developed over the years.

Walt Disney – A Magical Life and Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln play in the same Opera House. Visit the gallery before or after the show.
Look for the Emmy
Among the objects is Walt's 1955 Emmy for the TV series Walt Disney's Disneyland.
A quiet moment
The gallery is a nice place to escape the crowds of Main Street, U.S.A. for a while.
Visitor information
There is no minimum height. Children under 7 must be accompanied by someone aged 14 or over. You can stay in your wheelchair or ECV. Lightning Lane is not available for this attraction: everyone waits in the same standby queue. You walk through the gallery at your own pace.
