Whether you are a kid, or just a kid at heart, the Oakland Museum of California has a very special exhibition for you. Behind the Magic-50 Years of Disneyland is a traveling exhibition that features hundreds of Disney artifacts. From architectural models, original artwork, construction drawings and historic souvenirs make it easy for you to really get a feel for the vision of Mr. Walt Disney and the creativity of his team of "Imagineers".

This 3-part exhibition allows you to learn more about Disney's early years as both a cartoonist and filmmaker. Visitors are also privy to Disney's plans for his Magical Kingdom theme park.

A special section of the exhibition is dedicated to the "Imagineers"(the talented artists that create the magic of Disneyland). In it, you can take a peek at many original drawings and archival videos.

Those so inclined can enjoy the interactive section of Behind the Magic and can even play some of the original arcade games made for some Disney movies, like "The Pirates of the Caribbean".

If you can remember as far back as 1924, you may recall that Disney also commissioned the very first human Audio-Animatronic figure- Abraham Lincoln! This, too, is on display.

If you are a hardcore Disney fan, or you want to teach your children more about the world of Disney, this is an exhibition you won't want to miss.
