Whether you’ve heard the news or not, the Disney company turns ONE HUNDRED this year, and boy is it already off to a good start.

The Franklin Institute, a science museum in Philadelphia, is even hosting an exhibit for the occasion, and it looks like it’s going to be pretty epic! Today, to start the one-month countdown to Disney100: The Exhibition, Disney JUST revealed that 23 artifacts, or “Crown Jewels,” from the Walt Disney Archives vault of treasures are going to be on display when the exhibit opens!
