The Wick List

Viewing Online Exhibition from The Walt Disney Family Museum

‘The natural resources of our vast continent are not inexhaustible,’ said Walt Disney, the American animator whose enchanting stories continue to delight audiences around the world today. ‘But if we will use our riches wisely, if we will protect our wildlife and preserve our lakes and streams, these things will last us for generations to come.’

As well as being a renowned entertainer, Disney was a dedicated conservationist. His pioneering True-Life Adventures series celebrated the importance and diversity of the natural world, paving the way for the modern nature documentary.

In celebration of Earth Day (22 April 2021), The Walt Disney Family Museum presents Conserving the Magic of Our Planet, a virtual community exhibition featuring art submitted by the public inspired by Walt’s passion for stories based on our natural world and his commitment to the protection of our planet.

There will be more than 180 works on ‘virtual’ display, spanning photography, film, digital art, painting, collage and drawing. With zoom and 360º functions, you can get closer to the works than you could IRL.
