It may seem an unusual collaboration, to house an exquisite exhibition illuminating some of the inspirations for Walt Disney's early animated shorts and more recent, internationally successful fairy-tale features, in the basement of one of London's richest and perhaps lesser-known art and artifact galleries, the privately endowed Wallace Collection in Manchester Square, a short walk from newly - if gingerly (post-pandemic)- bustling Oxford Street. But it is certainly a marriage made in curators' heaven.
"INSPIRING WALT DISNEY The Animation of French Decorative Arts" has prompted some rave reviews in arts columns still published in real,hard--copy newspapers and magazines, and should delight visitors young and old (until 16 October 2022 open daily de dix à cinq).
