We don’t want to give everything away on what you can expect, but at the same time we want to give a teaser of what you can look forward to.

At the exhibition itself you are going to have the opportunity to see a variety of exhibits and experiences relating to Mamoru Hosoda’s works that have never been on display outside of Japan before and there’s something for people of all ages to enjoy! So here’s a little preview of a few things that will be inside the exhibition:

If you’re a fan of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, you’ll have the chance to have a photo with a life size statue of Chiaki from the film. Hot off the heels of the UK Premiere of the film at the London Film Festival, you’ll be able to see storyboards from his latest film, Mirai, in the form of a chandelier. Nope, not even joking when I write that. You’ll have to come along and see for yourself.

Did you love the virtual avatar filled world of Oz in Summer Wars? You can become part of that world through special augmented reality technology and you’ll even be able to have something to share with friends and family members to show off after the fact! If you enjoyed the antics of young Ame and Yuki in Wolf Children you’ll even be able to become part of the film itself with a special photo opportunity where you become part of a scene from the film.

But that’s not all as we’ll even have a special gift shop too!


SPECIAL ‘WORKS OF MAMORU HOSODA’ GIFT SHOP

We’re delighted to say that we’re going to have a selection of official merchandise directly from Japan based on a variety of works by Mamoru Hosoda available in a gift shop that you will find within the exhibition. You’ll be able to get your hands on framed posters, mugs and glasses, stamps, notebooks, towels, stickers, pouches, pass holders, folder files, phone charms, even a set of Mamoru Hosoda Animation Works Playing Cards!
