The Walt Disney Archives and Semmel Exhibitions, a worldwide exhibit presenter and producer, announced that Disney100: The Exhibition will open at the 35,000-square-foot Exhibition Hub Art Center (formerly known as the Windy City Fieldhouse) in Chicago on November 18, 2023. This date is also special because it’s Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse’s birthday. The pair made their first on-screen appearance in Steamboat Willie, which premiered in New York City on November 18, 1928. The show is presented in partnership with Exhibition Hub and Fever, both leaders in global live entertainment operations. Guests can experience ten immersive galleries with visual, audio, and interactive elements, as well as more than 250 unique and rarely seen works of art, artifacts, memorabilia, costumes, and props from the historical collections across the many realms of Disney, all on display as The Walt Disney Company celebrates its centennial anniversary on October 16, 2023.  Visitors will be taken on a visual journey where they can explore seldom-viewed works of art, including visual development drawings for Sleeping Beauty (1959), Mary Poppins (1964), Alice in Wonderland (2010) and so much more. Tickets are on sale now https://disney100exhibit.com/chicago/.
