How I learned to love Mid-Century Modern
I have a personal piece up on The Walt Disney Family Museum's blog, Storyboard. about where I first learned about Mid-Century Modern architecture and design on a trip to Disneyland when I was only ten.
Alan Hess is quoted as well and there are some great images both from Disneyland and the New York's World Fair.
So come learn how Disney artists like Mary Blair, architects like Welton Becket and those vintage Disneyland posters captured my imagination and sparked my love of mid-century modern architecture and design;
Enjoy!
