Voyage: Beyond the Unexplored
An extraordinary visual experience journeying through humanity's unexplored stars in a highly immersive theater space
This work invites you on a journey through the universe, drawing on discoveries made through astronomical observation and planetary exploration. A large-scale LED display reminiscent of a spacecraft window creates a strong sense of immersion, taking visitors past various celestial bodies as if aboard a sightseeing vessel. The narration is performed by musician Aoba Ichiko, whose voice resonates throughout the theater as if speaking directly to each visitor.

Running time: approx. 15 min.
How to watch: A Permanent Exhibitions Ticket and a numbered ticket (free of charge) are required. Please obtain a numbered ticket from the dispenser at the entrance to the 7F "Theater Room" on the day of your visit.
