Snow White Adventures - Disney Gallery Poster

The Disney Gallery is an art exhibition space at the Disneyland theme park. From 1987-2007, it was situated above Pirates of the Caribbean in New Orleans Square. It was a great place to escape the noise and crowds, plus see original artwork created by Walt Disney Imagineering.

This poster was created for an exhibit in the late 1980s and features 1954 concept art for Snow White Adventures by Ken Anderson. It depicts the climatic boulder scene with the Old Hag. Measures 32" x 26".

Park buildings are in ''Z'' scale (1/220th); characters and vehicles are "N" scale (1/160th). Material: Hand-painted, sculptured resin with wood bases and metallic title plaques.
