"Feel the Sound" is an immersive exhibition co-produced by the Barbican Centre, one of the United Kingdom's leading cultural institutions, and MoN Takanawa. Through sound, vibration, light and technology, it invites visitors to feel sound with their whole body, not just their ears. Based on the exhibition that was well received in London, it presents a variety of installations, including three new works added especially for its first showing in Japan. Across 12 distinctive spaces, visitors can see, touch and feel sound with their entire body. The exhibition runs from Friday, November 20, 2026 to Monday, March 22, 2027 (national holiday).
The collaboration combines the art experience at the exhibition with time at the bar on the 30th floor of JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo. After viewing the exhibition, guests can savor the afterglow of the art with Dom Pérignon Vintage champagne or an original cocktail inspired by the exhibition. The plans are set in TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY, where diverse cultures and sensibilities intersect, and pair art with hospitality.

About the "Feel the Sound" Exhibition
"Feel the Sound" is an immersive sound exhibition co-produced by the Barbican Centre and MoN Takanawa that lets visitors feel sound with their whole body. Based on the exhibition held at the Barbican Centre in London in 2025, its structure has been reorganized for the Tokyo showing, with new works added, and it is being held in Japan for the first time. Through a variety of installations that blend sound, vibration, light and technology, it offers a new experience of seeing, touching and feeling sound with the whole body, not just hearing it with the ears.
The exhibition features works by artists from Japan and abroad, including "Sensing Streams-invisible, inaudible: focused edition" by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Daito Manabe, and "Reflections of Being" by Max Cooper. Exploring the relationship between sound, the body and space, it asks about new possibilities in the act of "listening" to sound.
