An exhibition covering all the Ghost in the Shell anime series
Table of Contents
Ghost and the Shell is the first large-scale exhibition ever, covering all of the Ghost in the Shell anime series based on the original work by Masamune Ro. Starting from the original manga by Ro Masamune, this exhibition will allow you to experience the 30-year history of Ghost in the Shell. “Production IG,” which has been in charge of animation production for past works, and “Science SARU,” which is in charge of the new anime scheduled to air in 2026, will be fully cooperating, and in addition to related works from past anime, new works will be exhibited at the venue.
Over 600 archived materials for each anime series
The highlight is over 600 archive materials produced during the production of the anime series by past directors such as Oshii Mamoru, Kamitsu Kenji, Yose Kazuya, and Aramaki Shinshi. Original drawings, setting materials, storyboards, and more, including unpublished materials, will be gathered together. The exhibition will also be screened with interviews with each director for the first time, and the exhibition will be arranged so that you can experience it in a realistic way while comparing the process of each series being created.
Experience-based exhibitions that will enter the world of Ghost in the Shell
In addition to exhibiting works and materials, interactive, experiential exhibitions will also be featured. Through an experiential exhibition where you enter the world with your whole body, the viewer aims to become a place where people can come across “their own Ghost in the Shell” by overlapping the future that Ghost in the Shell has asked about with changes in the real world.
For example, the “DIGU” exhibition, in which the viewer accesses the worldview of Ghost in the Shell and the vast amount of information and unearthing hints about the future, allows you to experience immersing yourself in the worldview of the series and deciphering hints using your own thoughts and senses. In addition, interview footage is also shown that interprets the story from the perspective of each director, allowing you to discover a new perspective on Ghost in the Shell.
Additionally, there will be an exhibition that rethinks the universal question “What is human?”, which Ghost in the Shell, from the perspective of modern cutting-edge technology such as AI and BMI (brain machine interface), as well as an installation that teams up with contemporary artists and creators from both Japan and abroad who have been influenced by Ghost in the Shell.
