Don’t Miss Bowers Museum’s New Disney Exhibit

Inside the Walt Disney Archives, Final Extension Gives Guests Opportunity to Explore Disney Treasures Through June 20

Now a new reopening has been announced, with Orange County’s entrance into the red tier.

After initially closing due to COVID-19 almost a year ago to date, the Bowers Museum is thrilled to, once again, reopen its doors and welcome visitors back. Happily and thanks to the generosity of Bowers’ friends at the Walt Disney Archives, the exhibition Inside the Walt Disney Archives: 50 Years of Preserving the Magic is now on view through June 20, giving visitors the full spring season to experience the long-awaited return of this collection.


In celebration of this highly anticipated reopening, Bowers Museum will offer 20% off purchases* at the Gallery Store 3/17 – 3/21 onsite and online at shop.bowers.org. Additionally, new memberships purchased at the Family Level and above will receive a free Walt Disney Archives 50th anniversary tote, while supplies last. See more details at bowers.org/join.
