SHANGHAI -- An immersive Studio Ghibli exhibit is coming to Shanghai on Friday, following the release of the animation company's new hit movie "The Boy and the Heron" in mainland China.

The roughly 2,800-sq.-meter exhibit outlines the Japanese studio's history, including works by co-founders Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. A re-creation of a scene from "Spirited Away" is also included.
