Entrance to the exhibition room

Ryuichi Sakamoto’s first large-scale exhibition in Japan, Ryuichi Sakamoto | Seeing Sound, Listening to Time, will be held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo until Sunday, March 30, 2025. This exhibition offers a unique experience of encountering sound in new ways and evokes a mysterious sense of emotion through the bending and stretching of time.
