The immersive exhibition of The Story Of Studio Ghibli will make its world premiere at Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay on Dec 18.

The Singapore edition – which will span almost 3,500 sq m and run through July 4, 2027 – marks the largest presentation of The Story of Studio Ghibli to date, said exhibition organiser M Experience in a statement on Sept 12.

It will run at the West Lawn of Gardens by the Bay. Doors will be open from 10am to 7pm daily.

At the exhibition, visitors can “journey through unforgettable moments” from Studio Ghibli classics, including Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind (1984), My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989), Princess Mononoke (1997), Spirited Away (2001), Howl’s Moving Castle (2004) and The Boy And The Heron (2023), it said.

The exhibition will be an immersive, walk-through experience featuring 12 life-sized recreated worlds, said M Experience.

Visitors can encounter the Ohmu, the giant insects that inhabit the Sea of Corruption in Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind , stand beside Totoro while waiting for the Catbus from My Neighbor Totoro and wander through the mysterious streets of Spirited Away.

In addition, the showcase will feature the world’s first 8m-tall 3D recreation of the iconic bath house in Spirited Away, bringing Dogo Onsen – said to be the real-world inspiration behind the movie’s setting – to Singapore’s shores.

Interactive multimedia installations will be placed throughout the exhibition, which is designed for fans of all ages and will also allow them to explore themes such as creativity, resilience and environmental stewardship, said M Experience.

Educational initiatives and learning opportunities are being developed to “encourage deeper engagement” with these themes, it said, adding that further details will be made public closer to the Dec 18 opening.

Studio Ghibli – one of the world’s most influential animation studios – was founded in 1985 by Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki.

The exhibition is produced by Tsukuru and M Experience, and is supported by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB). – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

沉浸式展览“吉卜力工作室的故事”将于12月18日在新加坡滨海湾花园举行全球首展。

展览主办方 M Experience 在 9 月 12 日的一份声明中表示，新加坡版展览占地近 3500 平方米，将持续到 2027 年 7 月 4 日，是迄今为止规模最大的“吉卜力工作室的故事”展览。

活动将在滨海湾花园西草坪举行。每日开放时间为上午10点至晚上7点。

展览中，参观者可以“重温吉卜力工作室经典作品中的难忘瞬间”，包括《风之谷》（1984）、《龙猫》（1988）、《魔女宅急便》（1989）、《幽灵公主》（1997）、《千与千寻》（2001）、《哈尔的移动城堡》（2004）和《男孩与苍鹭》（2023）。

M Experience表示，本次展览将提供沉浸式步行体验，展出12个真人大小的重建世界。

游客可以在《风之谷》中邂逅栖息在腐败之海的巨型昆虫王虫，在《龙猫》中与龙猫并肩等待猫巴士，并在《千与千寻》中漫步于神秘的街道。

此外，本次展览还将展出世界上第一个 8 米高的 3D 模型，再现《千与千寻》中标志性的澡堂，将据说是电影场景现实灵感来源的道后温泉带到新加坡。

M Experience表示，展览中将设置互动多媒体装置，该展览面向所有年龄段的粉丝，并将让他们探索创造力、韧性和环境管理等主题。

声明称，正在制定教育计划和学习机会，以“鼓励更深入地参与”这些主题，并补充说，更多细节将在 12 月 18 日开幕前公布。

吉卜力工作室是世界上最具影响力的动画工作室之一，由高畑勋、宫崎骏和铃木敏夫于 1985 年创立。
