Step into the Mystical Night at Tokyo's Art Museum
In an extraordinary collaboration, Mori Building Co. and Twilight Co. are launching an immersive experience titled
"Peculiar Job Experience: Midnight Curator" at the Tokyo Node Gallery within Toranomon Hills. From July 24 to August 30, 2026, participants can step into a world of mystery and art as they take on the role of a curator during the museum's after hours.
Event Overview
The event runs for
25 days, every Thursday to Sunday, and features thrilling narratives amidst Tony Oursler's contemporary art exhibition,
"Tony Oursler: In the Gap between Technology and Spirit – Magic, Media, Art." Each session lasts approximately
75 minutes, starting Thursday evenings at 18:45, with additional performances on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 19:45 and 18:45, respectively, ensuring a comprehensive exploration of this incredible backdrop. Tickets are available for

A Journey through the Night
Participants will be drawn into the art world, responding to a peculiar request from the Tokyo Node Gallery. Exhibits have been known to provoke strange occurrences after normal hours, leading attendees down a path of intrigue as they uncover the underlying narratives of the museum's works and the often blurry lines between reality and illusion. Observing the gallery using special white gloves, participants will navigate an atmosphere thick with suspense and wonder, embracing the unconventional for a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Unmatched Experiences Await
As the second installment of the
"Peculiar Job Experience" series, the Midnight Curator event promises a captivating evening unlike any other. The series previously saw a successful run with
"Toranomon Hills Cleaners" and
"Nezu House Cleaner", attracting over 8,000 attendees and gaining critical acclaim for its unconventional approach to professional experience.
In this nocturnal version of the exhibition, participants will encounter pieces from Oursler's mysterious world that challenge human perception. The narrative unfolds against the iconic Tokyo skyline, offering an ambiance entirely distinct from daytime visits, where excitement and exhilaration reign supreme.
