Worlds Intersecting at an Observatory overlooking Tokyo — Orb: On the Movements of the Earth × Tokyo City View Exhibition Report

The exhibition is designed to be immersive rather than just visual. It includes a recreation of a medieval astronomer's room where scholars pondered by candlelight, as well as an area where visitors must rely on imitation candlelights to discover famous quotes from the series. This use of darkness effectively heightens one's empathy for the medieval world.

The "Starry Sky Theater," featuring the next-generation planetarium "MEGASTAR," offers an experience centered on the universe as revealed by modern astronomers, reflecting the worldview of the series.

The exhibition allows visitors to reflect on three distinct realms: the world depicted in Orb, the reality of modern Tokyo, and the world of infinite possibilities stretching across the universe.

Original merchandise is also available at a special shop within the venue. Fans of Orb: On the Movements of the Earth should certainly make a point to visit during the exhibition's run.
