The Saturn Theater
The Saturn Theater is a small theater in the basement of the Museum with only about 80 seats. There you can watch a short animated film from Studio Ghibli. A blue sky and lots of colorful flowers are drawn on the ceiling and walls. When the film ends, the windows open and the sunshine comes in. You can sit on a little red bench or the back of a seat to see the big screen without being blocked.
