HYDE PARK — The Museum and Science and Industry will hold on to a collection of Walt Disney artifacts through the summer after an overwhelming response from visitors.

The exhibit, “Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives,” will be extended through Aug. 3.

The show, which features artifacts like the storybook from the opening of the animated movie “Sleeping Beauty” and a replica of Walt Disney’s office, was originally scheduled to end on Friday.

The 300 Disney artifacts will now remain at the museum at 5700 South Lake Shore Drive through the summer.
