Lights, sound used to create ghostly art at summer exhibition
16:30 JST, August 7, 2022
MISAWA, Aomori — A special exhibition to make “ghosts” seem less frightening is being held at the Misawa Aviation & Science Museum, Aomori, in Misawa, Aomori Prefecture.
“The Secret of Ghost Castle: A magical castle woven by light!” is an exhibit that uses light and sound to create art. It is held every summer by the prefectural museum. This year, the exhibit features 13 kinds of displays using projection mapping and stereophonic sound, each accompanied by a scientific explanation.
One display, projected on a 2-meter high, 15-meter-long screen, shows various images — such as ghosts flying in the night sky — that can be changed with the push of a button.
The exhibition runs through Sept. 25 and is open from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is closed on Aug. 22, 29, Sept. 5, 12 and 20. It will also be closed between noon and 1 p.m. to ventilate the facility.
Admission is ¥800 for high school students and older and ¥400 for elementary and junior high school students.
