It's much better in person than in photos. Definitely. If you look closely at the gaze of the sculptures, you'll notice some are looking at other sculptures, some at the entrance, and others at the next doorway. The sculptures themselves were incredibly beautiful, but the way they were arranged was also very clever, making it enjoyable to walk around and explore. The 'Angel Room' is a bit hard to find, so it might be a good idea to double-check if you've seen everything. Also, at the end, you can watch a video about the creation process. It was very interesting, and I wished I could have watched more, but it was closing time, so I had to leave. Entering at 9 PM was too late to thoroughly see everything. I was there for about an hour, and I wish I could have stayed another 30 minutes, so next time there's an exhibition, I'll plan to go a bit earlier. Ease of booking with Klook: Good Service: Good Experience: Excellent!! Facilities: Spacious, easy to navigate, fewer people at night Price: Very cost-effective
I love everything in this exhibit. It is so realistic that you would compare them to a real people who were turned into wax.
I generally think of art as entertainment, and this is truly entertainment among entertainment! I believe this exhibition is one where you don't need any art knowledge or experience; you can just take photos as you feel, and have a blast.

Buy your tickets with Klook! It's incredibly convenient, and I've gotten used to purchasing tickets there. You can basically find all sorts of tickets, and it's fast and easy!
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.
The exhibition of Ron Mueck was truly impressive. His sculptures are incredibly realistic, with astonishing attention to detail that makes every figure feel alive. The unusual scale of the works creates a powerful emotional impact and invites visitors to look closely at human emotions and everyday life. Even without many pieces on display, each one is unforgettable. A fascinating and thought-provoking experience that I would highly recommend.
Price was much cheaper as I utilized klookcash. If you bought it at the exhibit it’s 2300 yen, so I’d recommend gettin the tix through klook. Redemption was easy with a scan of the QR code that’s all~ Exhibits were gorgeous, which I would have hoped more large scale ones were being exhibited as well. it’s too short :( but still worth every buck. Ron Mueck’s attention to details is impeccable from every strand of hair to every wrinkle or freckle. would love to stay longer if I didn went in so late~

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.
