This exhibition marks Studio Ghibli’s first showcase in Singapore and is one of its largest to date, covering 2,400 sqm across 11 galleries.

Visitors will explore the worlds of 11 iconic Ghibli films, including "My Neighbour Totoro", "Kiki’s Delivery Service", "Princess Mononoke", "Spirited Away", and "Howl’s Moving Castle".

The exhibition features 16 large-scale interactive theatrical sets, allowing attendees to immerse themselves in key moments from these films, such as waiting in the rain with Totoro and stepping inside Howl’s Moving Castle.

Highlights from the exhibition

Highlights include a giant sculpture from "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea" displayed in the museum's lily pond, along with immersive installations in the basement galleries and original sculptures in the level three galleries.

Here's a glimpse of the experience:
