TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MoN Takanawa: The Museum of Narratives (Minato, Tokyo; operated by the East Japan Railway Foundation for Cultural Innovations) will present the immersive sound exhibition ‘Feel the Sound’ from Friday November 20, 2026 to Monday March 22, 2027, as part of its opening commemorative programme produced in collaboration with the Barbican Centre (London, UK), one of the UK’s leading cultural institutions.

This immersive exhibition, in which visitors are treated to new ways of feeling and experiencing sound, captivated many visitors during its original run at the Barbican Centre in London. This presentation at MoN Takanawa marks its first run in Japan. Through a diverse range of installations combining sound, vibration, music and technology, it offers a new experience of ‘feeling sound’ with the whole body, rather than only hearing it with the ears.

For details on the program, please check the press release below.
