Beijing News (Reporter Teng Chao) On September 11, local time, the Oscar Museum of the United States announced that its first temporary exhibition will be a review of the works of Oscar-winning director and Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki.

The exhibition will be displayed in two galleries of the museum and will be unveiled to the public for the first time on April 30, 2021.

This temporary exhibition is to celebrate the 60-year legendary career of this animation master, and it is also the first time that a North American museum has held a retrospective of his work.

  Bill Kramer, Director of the Oscar Museum, said in a statement: "We are very pleased to launch our new institution with Hayao Miyazaki’s most comprehensive display of works to date. A tribute to this international artist opens our door. The right way."

  The exhibition will display more than 300 exhibits and will explore 11 Miyazaki's animated films, including "My Neighbor Totoro", "Castle in the Sky", "Goldfish on the Cliff", and "Spirited Away".

The experience will be divided into seven parts, each part echoing a different theme in Miyazaki's work.

The exhibition was curated by Studio Ghibli co-founded by Hayao Miyazaki in 1985, curated by the curator Jessica Nibel and assistant curator J. Raul Guzman.

  A 256-page catalog was exhibited along with the exhibition, which included Hayao Miyazaki’s early television works and production materials for his feature films, allowing people to learn more about the filmmaker’s legendary animation techniques.

The catalog will be available when the exhibition opens in April 2021.

The museum’s theater will also show English and Japanese versions of Hayao Miyazaki’s works, and exclusive merchandise produced by Studio Ghibli will be sold exclusively in the museum shop.

  Hayao Miyazaki won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film for "Spirited Away" in 2003. On November 8, 2014, he won the 87th Academy Awards for Lifetime Achievement.
