If you are interested in this or anything Walt Disney, I _strongly_ recommend visiting the Walt Disney Family Museum in the Presidio of San Francisco (https://waltdisney.org/). It even has an original MultiPlane camera in the gift shop! I also recommend taking the Walk In Walt's Disneyland Footsteps (https://disneyland.disney.go.com/events-tours/disneyland/wal...) guided tour at Disneyland which I just did this weekend and greatly enjoyed.
The Walt Disney Family Museum in SF is indeed amazing! Notably, there are many fascinating things to see on the technology behind animated films and the EPCOT concepts.
It is also worth noting that it is run by 501(c)3, not directly affiliated with the Walt Disney company.
If you live in SF and are interested in the history of entrepreneurship, definitely get out to the Presidio and tour the museum.
Even if you're not a Disney fan, it tells the story of an entrepreneur in one of the most dynamic ways imaginable, from a faux recreation of his boyhood living room in Marceline, MS to his apex as creator of a global brand.
There is a cinematic feel to the design of the museum itself. Highly recommend!
I second this recommendation. I've been there and saw that camera, as well as the one at Disney Studios in LA. I think the third of the original three cameras from Snow White is at Disneyland Paris, so if I'm ever in France I'll have to make a stop to see it!
What struck me most about the camera is how big it is -- it's not just in the gift shop, it stands through the center of the museum, two or three stories tall.
