Location: 3950 Green Mountain Drive (the former location of the Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Museum & Happy Trails Theater, across from where the Celebration City Amusement Park used to be)

Open date: Thursday, July 1, 2010

Now featuring the Princess Diana Exhibit – Diana, The People's Princess. This exhibit is scheduled to be on display through December 2010, with an option to possibly stay longer.

This is a self-guided tour through the exhibit in the 26,000-square-foot Branson Exhibition Center:

• begin with a 15-minute video in the 300-seat theater
  


• see an impressive collection of Diana's own dresses and gowns
  


• hundreds of artifacts (about 1200 items) & images relating to Diana's life. This is one of the world's largest collections of Diana-related pieces. Look for the actual piece of wedding cake from the Charles & Diana wedding (it's fruitcake, so you know what that means...it'll last forever!)

Different areas of the exhibit relate to a different time in Diana's life, with state-of-the-art videos throughout:

• The Grand Entrance


• Diana's Childhood Home


• The Royal Engagement and Wedding


• Diana, The Princess of Wales


• Diana's Role as "Mum" to William and Harry


• The Princess of Style


• Humanitarian Work and Building a Legacy

Allow yourself 1 to 1 1/2 hours to go through the display, depending on how much time you spend at each zone.

Diana, the People's Princess was recently on display at Walt Disney World.
