If you’re in Southern California, you might want to consider making a trip to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley.
From now through April 2013 the Library, in association with D23, is hosting a special Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives exhibit.
There are over 500 artifacts on display, including a full scale recreation of Walt’s formal office from the Walt Disney Studios.
Plus a large quantity of props, costumes, and set pieces from recent Disney movies.
The Avengers, Captain America and Iron Man in particular. (hey, aren’t there new films in both those franchises coming out this year?)
And as you can see in the background, there was a huge Pirates of the Caribbean display…
… including a large scale model of the Black Pearl.
There was also a sizable exhibit about the National Treasure films.
Before concluding with a gallery focused on Walt Disney’s Hall of Presidents…
… and President Reagan’s own sizable connections to Walt & the Disney company.
