Our Symposium this year will be preceded by an opportunity for FHS members to have a private tour of the exhibition Inspiring Walt Disney: The Animation of French Decorative Arts with Helen Jacobsen and Dr Wolf Burchard at the Wallace Collection.

The exhibition organised in collaboration with New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, examines Disney’s personal fascination with European art and the use of French motifs in his films and theme parks, drawing new parallels between the studios’ magical creations and their artistic models.  Sixty works of 18th-century European decorative arts and design—from tapestries and furniture to Boulle clocks and Sèvres porcelain—will be featured alongside 150 production artworks and works on paper.
