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 4,500 yen including entry to the Oursler exhibition, with special rates for students.

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.

Join the Community of Night Curators

Having embarked on this unique experience, you’ll find new meanings in art and perception, examining the blend of what is real and what is crafted from imagination. You will leave equipped with insights that will reshape your view of the world.

All participants will receive a limited-edition pair of white gloves, symbolizing their role as curators while making sure they handle artworks with utmost care, although actual contact with the pieces is restricted to preserve their integrity.

Tickets and More Information

Tickets for this intriguing experience will be available through pre-sale on June 13. General sales will commence the following day at noon, though early registration via Twilight's official LINE account secures earlier access for dedicated fans.
