星の王子さまミュージアム

Description

The museum opened in June 1999 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the author of The Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry’s birth. In the exhibition hall, photos, letters and his favorite belongings are displayed to introduce his life. They also reproduced his rooms when he was child and when I was in NY. The theater is equipped with a 400-inch screen to show the film about the story of The Little Prince and his life. In addition to these exhibits, you should also spend time in the garden.
