What to expect

The event centers on the making of Heroes & Villains: The Art of the Disney Costume, a Durham Museum exhibition curated by the Walt Disney Archives. Visitors can expect context on how film-worn costumes and newer additions from titles such as Cruella and Peter Pan & Wendy were incorporated into the show, along with the social-hour-and-exhibit-viewing format described by the museum.

Why go

For Disney fans, film lovers and design-minded visitors, the speaker series adds a deeper layer to an exhibition featuring nearly 70 ensembles from Disney film and television, including costumes connected to Cinderella, Maleficent, Mary Poppins, Captain Jack Sparrow and Aladdin. At The Durham Museum in Omaha’s Union Station, the program turns the exhibit from a gallery visit into a closer look at how costume, character and storytelling meet on screen.
