It has gone on to be included at Disney Theme Parks in Orlando, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. Mary Blair was inducted as a Disney Legend in 1991. Her work was selected for one of the very first Disney Family Museum Art Exhibits; Magic, Color, and Flair ...The World of Mary Blair which ran from March 13 thru September 7, 2014.
