Is Walt Disney Family Museum worth it for history buffs?

Worth itFor history

For history & culture, Walt Disney Family Museum delivers.

A surprisingly rich, well-told biography — early animation, original art, a giant Disneyland model — that wins over even skeptics. The catch: it's about the man and the craft, not rides or characters; little kids may get restless, and it's tucked out in the Presidio.
