Beginning May 22, 2025, the Walt Disney Family Museum’s collection will once again celebrate Mary Blair with Mary Blair: Mid-Century Magic. This new exhibition, a reimagined return of the popular 2014 show MAGIC, COLOR, FLAIR: the world of Mary Blair (originally conceived by John Canemaker) and curated by Marina Villar-Delgado, offers a fresh perspective on Blair’s influential career. It will also showcase an expanded selection of her later work, emphasizing her enduring impact on Walt Disney’s theme parks and resorts through her designs for attractions, façades, and murals.
Mary Blair was celebrated for her imaginative and bold artistic style, expertly working across various mediums such as watercolor, pencil and ink, collage, and ceramics. The upcoming exhibition, Mary Blair: Mid-Century Magic, will showcase nearly 150 artworks and historical photographs, highlighting her pivotal influence on the visual design of numerous Disney animated films and theme park experiences—an artistic legacy that remains impactful today. Visitors can also enhance their experience through engaging, hands-on Mary Blair-themed art activities or by using their phones to unlock augmented reality interactions.
The exhibition Mary Blair: Mid-Century Magic will be accessible in the Walt Disney Family Museum’s Lower Lobby and Theater Galleries from Thursday, May 22nd, through Sunday, September 7th, 2025. Admission to this special showcase is included with general museum entry, with a $5 suggested donation to support the museum’s ongoing efforts to present exceptional original exhibitions. Additionally, details regarding an exclusive screening in the museum’s theater will be announced soon, featuring a collection of rare film footage and animated clips that complement the artwork displayed in Mary Blair: Mid-Century Magic.
