Step into a forgotten apocalypse at the Roppongi Museum this summer. Prepare to immerse yourself in a hauntingly beautiful vision of the end that never came. The 1999 Exhibition – Memories of a Day That Never Existed opens July 11 at the Roppongi Museum, inviting visitors into a chilling reimagining of the prophesied apocalypse that haunted the final days of the 20th century.

Created by the horror collective Bermuda 3 (novelist Sesuji, game writer Naoko Sato (SIREN), and filmmaker Masaki Nishiyama) the exhibition uses atmospheric sound, immersive visuals, and eerie spatial design to transport you to the eve of destruction. Guided by the mysterious “Apocalyptic Girl,” designed by acclaimed illustrator Mai Yoneyama, you’ll explore a surreal world where 1999 ended in silence, not survival.

1999 Exhibition – Memories of a Day That Never Existed is equal parts horror, nostalgia and interactive art. The exhibition is a must-see for fans of Japanese horror, speculative fiction and experimental storytelling. Enter the memory of a day that never happened—and ask yourself: Did the world truly survive?
