Has "The Prologue and The Promise" (the horizons mural) survived at all?

[Centeral]

I'm having a classic future world phase ; I'm thinking about relics of lost attractions, I was wondering is the horizon mural has survived at all?

 

[Master Yoda]

I don't think it did. @marni1971 will know for sure.

It’s something I’ve never found an answer to. I do know when the later “GE” corridor was built in 1986 it was built inside of the mural wall, not as a replacement. The mural wall could have remained behind the light show corridor.

Gee thanks, You're so cool in your WDW knowledge ~ I wish I knew as much as you do...

Cue the "WaltDisneyWorld History" mural wall pin series, with a chunk of the mural embedded in each pin.

Bonus: Buy the whole series and you can re-create the mural in the warehouse of your choice.

I remember seeing the pins - somewhere - I comes flooding back and remember seeing the horizons muela there...
Thanks, I couldn't recall something so obscure, so suddenly.
Again, many thanks ; that mural pin is on my wanted list, I will get it - no matter how many dollars are expended.

I have new info on this.

I emailed McCall's daughter, and she said it's whereabouts are unknown by Disney. She said her dad tried to buy it back from Disney about 20 years ago, and they couldn't find it.

I know the mural itself was painted in California, not on-site, so it was certainly capable of being moved.

That's awful if true.

Such a beautiful piece of art.

Well that's... depressing. One of the greatest pieces of art ever created for a Disney attraction and it just vanished.

Oh, also found this from Marty Sklar's 2019 book:

I don't own the book so I can't see the full quote. If anyone has it, it's called "Travels with Figment"

They don't want these murals around. They represent a time when Epcot truly was a place of wonder, of thinking where we were headed not where we were. There is no future world, just puttering around to retell and hawk stories from IPs.

That's why they made this new mural At Connections. By showing with people all around the world on how their food connects to everyone..
