Toyota City, Japan, October 23, 2025―The TOYOTA GROUP will open THE MOVEUM YOKOHAMA by TOYOTA GROUP*1 ("THE MOVEUM YOKOHAMA"), an immersive museum that provides real cultural experiences and opportunities to enrich the soul by learning, from December 20, 2025 to March 31, 2026 at Yamashita Pier Shed No. 4, Yokohama, Kanagawa.
Resonating with the history of Yokohama and the city's vision for cultural and artistic "Creative City" initiatives, the TOYOTA GROUP will open THE MOVEUM YOKOHAMA at Yamashita Pier to move people emotionally and transport them physically. THE MOVEUM YOKOHAMA will feature immersive art surrounded by audiovisual materials in a massive space measuring nearly 1,800 m2, where visitors can experience a sense of unity from being a part of the artwork or relive the artist's perspective. The opening will feature two artworks: Fin de Siècle Vienna: The Golden Age of Beauty, which depicts the tumultuous work of turn-of-the-century Viennese artists from Gustav Klimt to Egon Schiele, and ONE MOMENT, a new series from LISTEN. that allows visitors to experience the world through beautiful images and sounds.
As a mobility company that supports society, the TOYOTA GROUP does not simply provide means of transportation: rather, it aims to "move" people emotionally by drawing close to their hearts and bringing them happiness. For many years now, the TOYOTA GROUP has been opening its dealerships and office buildings to orchestras or artists as concert venues and canvases. To expand this initiative, TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO, which aims to be a mecca for sports and music, opened this autumn in Aomi, in the Odaiba area. Then, this winter, in Yokohama―an intersection between Japanese culture and the world, and one of the cities where a rich culture has flourished through repeated encounters between tradition and innovation―THE MOVEUM YOKOHAMA will be a cultural and educational communication facility with a focus on art. In addition to turning the entire area of Yamashita Pier Shed No. 4 into an art space, the TOYOTA GROUP will contribute to the verification of urban services in the Yamashita Pier area of Yokohama by, for example, rolling out a mobility service to improve movement around the area using Toyota's e-Palette*2 mobility. The TOYOTA GROUP hopes visitors will enjoy experiences that "move" them emotionally at THE MOVEUM YOKOHAMA. Ticket sales for THE MOVEUM YOKOHAMA start today, October 23.

This exhibit allows visitors to experience through the immersive digital exhibition a journey into Vienna at the turn of the 20th century, a time of intense cultural innovation that positioned the city as a hub of the European avant-garde. The exhibition highlights two major figures of modern art: Gustav Klimt, known for his decorative elegance and the role he played in the Vienna Secession movement, and Egon Schiele, whose raw, emotional work reflects the existential anxieties of his era. Using immersive technologies, large-scale projections, and soundscapes, the exhibition transforms the space into a fully engaging visual and sensory experience.
LISTEN.―ONE MOMENT
The Listen Project has traveled to 26 countries over the course of 10 years, capturing on film treasures of sound and culture that we hope to pass on to the future. Rhythms of the horse-riding peoples that connected the East and West. Melodies of nomadic people, minstrels, festivals of song that unite hearts, and soulful dances passed down from generation to generation. Following the paths where cultures have crossed, these films journey through the sounds of life on Earth.
In this new series LISTEN. ONE MOMENT, experience a new kind of immersive art that makes artists and their music come to life like never before.
"Let's "Encounter the Earth". Sing, play music, dance, laugh, and cultivate a brighter tomorrow."
―LISTEN. producer Tomoko Yamaguchi
In 2010 The Listen Project began a 10 year journey exploring music and culture around the world, resulting in an extensive collection of film, photography, and writings. ( https://www.the-listen-project.com )
In 2025, the LISTEN. "World is Music" exhibition was held at the Sou Fujimoto-designed House of Music Hungary in Budapest.
The 600+ page book LISTEN. (Ikinobiru Books) merges Tomoko's writings with QR codes* that link to short videos.
Tomoko currently shares her rediscovery of Japan on her YouTube channel "Yamaguchi Tomoko KazeAna."
