Ghibli Museum (三鷹の森ジブリ美術館 ) is a museum featuring the Japanese anime work of Studio Ghibli, and is located in Inokashira Park in Mitaka, a western suburb of Tokyo, Japan. Hayao Miyazaki, the director of Studio Ghibli wanted to create a museum that is interesting and relaxing to the soul, so he designed the museum himself, using drawn storyboards similar to the ones he makes for his films. The museum is a fine art museum which has many features that are child-oriented and a sprawling and occasionally mazelike interior. It is a playfully created place.

| The Saturn Theatre There you can watch an original short animated feature from Ghibli, which can only be seen in the Museum's theatre. |

| The Space of Wonder Look up at the ceiling, and you will find it covered in fresco painting. In the center of a blue sky, there is a shining, smiling sun. |

The Central Hall Taking in the whole room from bottom to top, you will discover a maze of spiral stairways, bridged passages, and overhanging terraces. This marvelous space transports you into the world of Hayao Miyazaki and the strange buildings which often appear in his films. |

A boy's Room The room is filled with books and toys. The walls are all covered with illustrations and sketches. Hanging from the ceiling are a model of an airplane and a model of a Peterandone. It's a place where the owner of the room has stored his favorite things. |

The Reading Room "TRI HAWKS" "TRI HAWKS (a pun on the name of the city "Mi-taka"--literally 3-hawks--where the museum is located)" is the reading room inside the Ghibli Museum. It was created to communicate the Museum's wish to have children see, touch, and feel strange and mysterious things through books. Artwork in the Ghibli Museum |
