The Walt Disney Family Museum (free registration required), which is under construction at the Presidio in San Francisco, CA, and scheduled to open in October 2009. The museum is a by-product of dissatisfaction by Disney's heirs at how his life and his legacy have been shown in the past, with Diane Disney Miller (Walt Disney's sole surviving child) noting Marc Eliot's 1994 biography Walt Disney:

Hollywood’s Dark Prince (which depicted Disney as a bigot) and even the efforts of the Walt Disney Company itself ("They try, but there is nobody there anymore who actually knew him.") She added that, “My kids have literally encountered people who didn’t know that my father was a person." The museum will focus on Walt Disney's life story, and will be run by Richard Benefield, the former deputy director of the Harvard Art Museum.
