It was a wonderful place, and the exhibits there gave a fantastic insight into the work that was done by Ghibli behind the wonderful animated stories. The ambience, the explanations, books and visuals were fantastic and immersed us into the world of Ghibli and their characters. We also loved the screening of one of their short-movies and it was wonderful to see how well made it was. Donna, our guide was kind and informative and ensured that we could see all of the musem and its exhibits and not only that, she helped us understand the intention behind some of the exhibits and the museum's story as well. Thank you for a great tour and a memorable experience.
