Description
Relive the wonder of the Expo. Approaching the question "What is life?" through cutting-edge android technology, this exhibition recreates the futuristic story that captivated audiences at the Expo within a state-of-the-art theater space. It is a memorable, deeply moving experience where science and philosophy intertwine through your five senses. Supervised by Hiroshi Ishiguro, a leading pioneer in robotics and android research, the exhibition has been specially reconfigured for MoN Takanawa. Blending science and the humanities, this project aligns perfectly with our museum's seasonal theme, "Life as Culture."

Dialogue Experience with "Soseki Android 2.0"
As a new initiative, a dialogue experience with an android has been introduced. The android of Natsume Soseki (a graduate of Nishogakusha) has evolved further with the latest AI, enabling autonomous conversation and answering questions about Soseki in his own words. ※ Produced in cooperation with the 150th anniversary of Nishogakusha.
