Disney: The Exhibition – A Century of Magic—a global blockbuster experience that has captivated audiences across Philadelphia, Munich, London, Chicago, Kansas City, Seoul, Paris, and Madrid—will make its Australian debut this December when it premieres at the Mackay Entertainment & Convention Centre (MECC) in Queensland. The exhibition will give Australian audiences, for the very first time, a behind-the-scenes look at some beloved stories as well as one-of-a-kind artifacts and costumes from the Walt Disney Archives.

“Hosting the Australian premiere of Disney: The Exhibition – A Century of Magic is an extraordinary moment for Mackay. It’s not every day that regional Queensland brings Disney magic down under, and we could not be prouder to share this with our community,” said Mackay mayor Greg Williamson.

The Walt Disney Archives, in collaboration with Semmel Exhibitions, have created an immersive experience celebrating 100 years of Disney storytelling and innovation. The exhibition will feature props, costumes, and works of art from throughout The Walt Disney Company, as well as interactive galleries and curated displays that transport visitors into the heart of Disney’s legacy. It’s an opportunity for families and fans to experience Disney in a uniquely Australian setting.

“We’re thrilled to bring this one-of-a-kind exhibition to Australia and introduce audiences in the heart of Queensland to the magic of Disney,” said Matthew Adams, Manager of Exhibitions, Walt Disney Archives. “Disney: The Exhibition – A Century of Magic was created by the Walt Disney Archives to showcase the stories, artistry, and innovation behind The Walt Disney Company, inviting guests to explore that legacy through eight immersive galleries inspired by Walt Disney’s creative philosophies.” Added Christoph Scholz, Director of exhibitions & international projects at Semmel Exhibitions, “We are proud to collaborate with Mackay on bringing Disney: The Exhibition – A Century of Magic to the MECC, one of our most ambitious international exhibitions.”

Disney: The Exhibition – A Century of Magic will take place from 4 December 2026 until 4 May 2027 with early-bird tickets available from March 2026.
