SANTA ANA, CA.- Bowers Museum brings an entirely new Disney exhibition to families and friends this holiday season All That Glitters: The Crown Jewels of the Walt Disney Archives.
The entirely new exhibition All That Glitters: The Crown Jewels of the Walt Disney Archives lets visitors see the jewelry and accessories from Titanic, The Princess Diaries and some of their favorite Disney and 20th Century Studios films in a way that they have never been able to before. All That Glitters three main sections each explore different facets of how jewelry is used to tell stories: Jewelry Informs Character explains what wearable accessories tell viewers about characters; the Feature Vault offers a jaw-dropping look at the most prized jewelry and accessories inside the Walt Disney Archives; and Reflections on Reality includes displays that tie earrings, cuff links, rings, tie pins, and more back to the Disney films and parks that they originated from.
All That Glitters: The Crown Jewels of the Walt Disney Archives is curated by the Walt Disney Archives in conjunction with the Bowers Museum.
For more than five decades, the Walt Disney Archives has carefully safeguarded the most treasured items from The Walt Disney Companys history, including original scripts, movie props and costumes, Walt Disneys correspondence and script notes, theme park artifacts, merchandise, millions of archival photographs, and many of Walts personal effects. Founded by Disney Legend Dave Smith in 1970, the Walt Disney Archives is a vital resource for every part of Disney, as well as an important research center for Disney scholars, researchers, and writers. The Archives also shares its countless pieces with Disney fans everywhere through its exhibitions and close association with D23: The Official Disney Fan Club.
