    concept

    That experience from the World Expo is finally coming to Tokyo. We can live the life we want to live.

    This exhibition, which poses fundamental questions such as "What is a human being?" and "What is life?", resonates deeply with our museum's seasonal theme, "Life as Culture," which emphasizes that daily activities and the very act of living create culture. Crossing the lines between science and humanities, this project confronts "important questions for those who have been given life," offering a new and thought-provoking intellectual experience that will shake the very foundations of life for people of all generations.

    Relive the wonder of that World Expo once again.

    Using cutting-edge android technology, this production explores the question of "what is life," recreating the futuristic Narratives that captivated many at the World Expo through state-of-the-art theater staging and space. Science and philosophy blend together through the five senses, creating a thought-provoking and memorable experience.

    Narratives set 50 years after the World Expo is expanded with a new scenario about "choices regarding the future of life," featuring dialogues between androids.

    A new feature has been added: the ability to converse with an AI-powered android. Enjoy realistic, two-way communication with the android.

    *This is a planned event outside of the exhibition. A separate ticket is required.

    We have significantly expanded our selection of original products, which were highly requested at the World Expo.
