New Downtown Disney Art Display Celebrates Seven Decades of Disneyland Magic

The celebration of Disneyland's 70th anniversary continues with a new art installation at Downtown Disney.

What's Happening:

• Step into 70 years of magic like never before with a new art installation at the Downtown Disney District, specifically near the LIVE! Stage and lululemon.
• Each artist was prompted to draw inspiration from a Walt Disney quote, a key word, and defining park offerings within each assigned decade.
• Thus far, art pieces commemorating the 1950s-1980s are on display – with additional decades to be added.
• In fact, they will be added to the Art Walk via live art demonstrations from additional artists.

• The 1950s features a Fantasyland design with the quote "ideas come from curiosity."

• The 1960s truly displayed that "it's kind of fun to do the impossible," with attractions such as The Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, "it's a small world" and the Enchanted Tiki Room featured.

• Things get thrilling in the 1970s with the addition of Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad – proving that "when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true."

• As Disney enters the TV era of the 1980s, Splash Mountain and Star Tours remind us that "the important thing is family."
