This was my first visit, and also my first time seeing Ron Mueck's work. The photos I saw online were so peculiar, depicting emotions that are hard to describe in words, and I really wanted to see them in person. It was brilliant and overwhelming. The video showing the creation process was very simple, just him completely engrossed in his work, and it allowed me to witness his dedication, strong commitment, and meticulousness. If you have time, I highly recommend watching it. (The video is about 60 minutes long. My neck hurt from sitting on the floor, so I recommend using a chair.) Overall, it was excellent.

It's a very worthwhile exhibition. I recommend booking your time slot in advance. For example, I went without an appointment and had to wait two hours for the next available slot.

It's a bit cheaper than buying tickets on-site, and you can skip the line by purchasing them in advance. The exhibition is worth seeing.

I had been wanting to see the Ron Mueck exhibition for a while. My friend and I decided to go last minute and bought tickets the day before. Ron Mueck's world is truly overwhelming. Photos are allowed in all areas. I usually go to museums alone, but for this one, I recommend going with someone if possible, as you can take photos of each other and enjoy it more. The staff doesn't take pictures, so those who were alone were asking other visitors to take their photos.

It was truly impressive. Even though I already knew which pieces were on display from social media and TV news, seeing them in person offered a completely different level of impact and emotion. I highly recommend going to see and experience the artwork for yourself. The video showing about an hour of the creation process was fascinating, and many people, including myself, watched it all the way through without leaving. Two hours flew by in an instant.

What an amazing exhibition, if you are in Tokyo - go visit it. Got tickets on the day - had no trouble with them, keep in mind separate tickets needed for the rooftop terrace with better view.

It's worth seeing; the live experience is truly impressive. On holidays, you can usually get in within about 5 minutes, so there's no long wait.

Guide

The biggest highlight of this exhibition is the large-scale installation "Mass," where 100 giant skulls fill the exhibition room. The sight of skulls, each approximately 1.5 meters tall, stacked in the Mori Art Museum's space is a must-see.

Mueck’s sculptures, utilizing silicone and fiberglass, perfectly reproduce the texture of skin, pores, and even blood vessels. His works, which skillfully express human inner emotions and experiences, captivate all of us and invite us on a journey to ponder the questions of what it means to be human and what it means to live.

Furthermore, the exhibition reveals the creative process recorded by photographer Gautier Deblonde over more than 25 years. Visitors can catch a glimpse behind the scenes of the artist creating a single sculpture over a long period.
