    Four crescent table surfaces function as dynamic menus to access a vast vault of imagery, artwork, artifacts, audio, and video that reveal Walt Disney’s creative evolution throughout the post WWII years.

    Recessed in alcoves beneath an undulating media ribbon, four crescent table surfaces become magical menus where visitors can discover the building blocks of stories about Walt’s creative ‘recovery and reinvention’ following World War II. Here visitors weave together stories themselves as they jump from one media element or artifact to another through a web of interconnected themes and topics. Visitors simply touch an icon on the table to view their selection on the large screen before them. Upon making a selection, related topics or tags for each item animate out to the periphery, providing opportunities to pursue personalized pathways through the entire archive. Exploratory visitors can select shuffle to serve a fresh random assortment of icons on the table, or they could access a list mode of all topics and tags for a more straightforward menu of all content within the experience.

    Every gallery is crammed with touch screens and interactive exhibits designed to bring static drawings and documents to life.

    If that sounds boring, don't worry...there are 21st century touches everywhere...Touch-screen monitors allow users to browse through relic documents that would normally be kept under glass.
