Gumtree Museum Of Art Takes Visitors ‘20,000 Leagues Under The Sea’

TUPELO, MISS. (WCBI) –  A local museum is taking visitors for a deep sea voyage.

Tupelo’s Gumtree Museum of Art is hosting a collection of memorabilia from the Disney movie, “20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.”

Items on display are from the collection of Tupelo resident Louis Armour, who collects memorabilia from classic movies.

Armour started collecting items as a child, when he got a book about the movie at a five and dime store.

Much of the collection on display is from different countries.

“These items are from all over the world and it’s curious to see how different countries portray the same film, make their movie posters, things like that, kind of interesting to see how a movie is promoted around the world,” Armour said.

The exhibit featuring items promoting the 1954 Disney classic will be on display at the Gumtree Museum of Art through the end of November.
