The Bordeaux Conservatory is hosting a spectacular work until February 9, 2026: The Fear of Hauru, a monumental tapestry inspired by Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away. This stunning piece measures 3 meters by 5.6 meters and is part of the Grandes Tentures initiative, a collaboration between the City of Bordeaux and the International Tapestry City of Aubusson.

A monumental tapestry inspired by Miyazaki has taken up residence at the Bordeaux Conservatory! This installation marks the fourth stage of an extraordinary cycle dedicated to the master of Japanese animation, following three other tapestries already unveiled at the Grand Théâtre, in the Salle des Fêtes at Grand Parc, and at the Pierre Veilletet library.

The artwork, made up of over 2,000 color blends, captures the enigmatic atmosphere of Howl's room, one of Miyazaki's most iconic characters, with stunning precision.

A monumental work to discover for free

Open to the public during the Conservatory's hours, this tapestry offers a rare immersion into the world of the Japanese director, regarded as one of the greatest animation filmmakers in history. It's a unique opportunity for the people of Bordeaux: the piece, woven using the centuries-old expertise of Aubusson, is part of a series of five monumental works loaned by the Cité Internationale de la Tapestry d’Aubusson and inspired by the iconic films of Miyazaki, including Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke.
