The first gallery of the exhibit is “Cinderella’s Workshop”. This gallery shows a small film dedicated to the designers, their craft, and their creations. In the center of the gallery is the iconic Cinderella ball gown. The exhibit also has a special spot for Cinderella’s carriage as well.


The second gallery is titled, “Heroes, Villains, and Spaces Between”. This gallery features the heroes and villains we have come to know and love. They are placed in poses that showcase the story arc of good versus evil.
