Once upon a Time Walt Disney has been organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Réunion des Musées Nationaux, Paris, where it was on view at the Grand Palais from September 16, 2006, through January 15, 2007. The MMFA is the only North American venue for the exhibition, which has been undertaken with the agreement and full co-operation of the Walt Disney Company.

In Montreal, the exhibition is presented in partnership with Dynamic Funds^TM* and in collaboration with METRO, Quebec’s Ministère des Affaires municipales et Régions and Tourisme Montréal.

This exhibition would not have been possible without the support of The Walt Disney Company. We wish to thank The Walt Disney Company France, Walt Disney Feature Animation and the Animation Research Library, Walt Disney Archives, Walt Disney Imagineering and Walt Disney Photo Library for their practical advice and their generous loan of more than 200 important works from their collection.

We would also like to express our deepest appreciation to the private collectors who generously consented to lend works for the exhibition.

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts wishes to thank La Presse, The Gazette and Radio-Canada, its media partners. Its gratitude also extends to Quebec’s Ministère de la Culture et des Communications for its ongoing support.

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts international exhibition programme receives financial support from the Exhibition Fund of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Foundation and the Paul G. Desmarais Fund.

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts would like to thank all its Friends and the many corporations, foundation and people who support its mission.
