「視てはいけない絵画展」, the new-sensation, immersion-style painting exhibition where "paintings" and "stories" intertwine, sold out repeatedly at its Tokyo and Osaka venues and extended its run before closing this past January, drawing a combined total of 40,000 visitors. Now the exhibition's popular After-Hours Painting Exhibition program is coming to Nagoya.
Visitors walk through the darkened exhibition space with a flashlight in hand.
In a space and among paintings that reveal a different expression than they do in daylight, guests can enjoy an experience of being drawn in even more deeply.

Guests can walk through the pitch-dark venue with a flashlight in hand.
As the lights go down, they may catch sight of paintings that appear to change.
"The paintings you saw by day look different at night" — this experimental night program lets visitors experience the same unease and fear in a new way.
Introduction
There exist paintings in this world that must not be seen. They have been kept hidden away, known only to a single collector. Now, by his will, they are being specially shown to the public as 「視てはいけない絵画展」. We bear no responsibility for whatever may happen to you after you have viewed the paintings.
We look forward to your visit.
Please note that not everything described about this exhibition is necessarily true.
