Manga artist Uo Toyo's popular work "Chi. --About the Movement of the Earth--" is a fictional story set in a certain European country in the 15th century, depicting people risking their lives in a quest for the heliocentric theory.
This exhibition will introduce one of the biggest paradigm shifts in human history, the transition from the geocentric to the heliocentric model, along with highlight scenes from the TV anime "Chi. - About the Movement of the Earth."
