This way!
Oh, hello, Totoro. Two tickets please
Vine covered spiral staircase outside leading to a trail nearby
The robot from Castle In The Sky, one of Miyazaki's first films with studio Gibli (even older than Totoro!)
Lots of staircases all over the place. When we first walked in, we went up a narrow spiral staircase that made me a bit dizzy and claustrophobic. I liked the light in this one
The outside of the museum was almost as neat as the inside
goodbye, robot from Laputa!
goodbye, Totoro!
spider we saw on the way back to the station
cool old house
**If you are wondering why we have no pictures of the inside, its because we weren't allowed to take any inside the museum! Lame! But on the inside, there were whole rooms of storyboards, sketches, and hande painted pieces from many movies, as well as conceptual photographs and objets, statues, stained glass windows depicting characets and scenes, and a basic explanation of how animation works (in Japanese though =/). There was also a catbus that kids were crawling around on, and a just-for-Ghibli-museum short film showed in a mini theater. There was also a room full of mobile objects, where by using rotating pieces, complex gears, and tricks of light, they created an illusion of movement. I wish I could take pictures! Unfortunately, I will just have to say, if you ever get the chance, you must come visit its totally worth 10 bucks and the walk from the station is actually quite nice!**-bret
