Take an online tour of Ghibli Museum during its temporary closure


The famous Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Japan, is temporarily closed but fans can check out its website for updates and Youtube channel for a sneak peek into what goes on behind closed doors.

In one recent video, we are led through the museum doors to gaze up at the ceiling, where a sun with bright yellow rays smiles down on all visitors. Foliage heavy with fruit stretch to the blue sky and if your eyes are sharp enough, you would be able to spot Kiki on her broom (from Hayao Miyazaki’s Kiki Delivery Service from 1989), Nausicaa on her glider (from Nausicaa And The Valley Of The Wind from 1984), The Catbus (from My Neighbor Tototo from 1988) and several other beloved characters from animation studio Studio Ghibli’s well-loved films.
