Aprašymas

A joyful queer love story from the author of Japanese cult hit DIARY OF A VOID

When Rika Horauchi accepts an unusual new part-time job at the museum, she never expects to fall in love with Venus herself.

Rika has been tasked with talking to Venus, to keep her company when the museum is closed on Mondays. As Venus comes to life in the quiet of their surroundings, she opens up new worlds for Rika, and they speak about everything. But when the museum's curator, Hashibami, makes it clear he wants to keep Venus for himself, what will Rika do?

When the Museum is Closed is by turns charming, funny and surprising, a love story about our perceptions of beauty, overcoming loneliness and breaking free.
