WALT DISNEY MUSEUM OPENS

The Walt Disney Family Museum will open in San Francisco on Oct. 1. The three buildings that will house the museum are filled with video screens showing film clips, the story of the life of Walt Disney (including family movies), animation art, theme park artifacts, production innovations, and all types of memorabilia. The museum will probably create new interest among Disneyana collectors and prices will rise. It also represents another step toward having comic art recognized as an art form, not kitsch. Collectors want Disney art from the years 1928 to 1967 (Walt Disney died in 1966 at the age of 65).
