Studio Ghibli Museum

To anyone who has even a passing interest in Studio Ghibli, their museum is well worth the ticket price (and worth the plane fare as well if you're an enthusiast). It was far beyond my expectations! Of course with areas that allowed for getting food, let kids play (Cat bus :-D), and buying merchandise. But the main parts had wonderful displays on animation techniques going way back into history, background paintings, storyboards...just a wealth of art & design. There is also the giant robot on the roof garden! Highlight has to be the exclusive short film that plays in their small cinema - a boy buys a star from two itinerant travelling salesmen (science fantasy genre, stunningly gorgeous visuals).

There's a giant robot up there. <3 <3 <3
