Visit My Favourite Artist
 |
| Hayao Miyazaki 宫崎骏 |
The Ghibli Museum (三鷹の森ジブリ美術館, Mitaka
no Mori Ghibli Bijutsukan) is the animation and art museum of Miyazaki Hayao's
Studio Ghibli, one of Japan's most famous animation studios.
They
have produced many feature length films with worldwide distribution such as
My
Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Ponyo on the Cliff by the
Sea.
Located
in Mitaka, just outside of central Tokyo.
The museum itself is whimsically designed in the distinct style of
the studio's films.
Many of their famous characters are there, including a
life sized robot from Castle in the Sky on the rooftop garden.
The
first floor of the museum exhibits the history and techniques of animation and
has as a small theater which shows short movies by Studio Ghibli that are
exclusive to the museum and are rotated monthly.
The second floor houses
special temporary exhibitions.
The museum further has a cafe, children's play
area, a rooftop garden and a gift shop.
The
Reading Room "TRI HAWKS"
It was created to communicate the Museum's wish to have children
see, touch, and feel strange and mysterious things through books.
Books which are specially recommended by Hayao Miyazaki and the Museum can be found here for children to browse through freely.

Poof,
Boing! The Cat Bus
The Cat
Bus is waiting for you in a room on the second floor.
It must be everyone's
dream to touch and ride the Cat Bus.
In order to make this wish come true, we
made a room with an actual Cat Bus.
If you remember the Cat Bus from "My
Neighbor Totoro", you have probably dreamed of touching its fluffy fur.
