Metti and Artlas are collaborating on a new visitor experience for the 'Ron Mueck' exhibition at Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, according to the museum’s announcement. The project pairs the next-generation museum platform 'artlas' with an AI guide named Metti, giving visitors personalized commentary and recommended viewing routes.
The initiative is designed to tailor the exhibition visit to individual interests and age groups. In practical terms, that means the AI guide can adjust its suggestions and interpretation for different visitors rather than offering only a single standard tour path. The system also supports more than 20 languages, expanding access for international audiences.
The collaboration sits within Mori Art Museum’s broader public-facing approach to contemporary art presentation, combining exhibition content with digital tools intended to shape how visitors navigate the galleries. The announcement focuses on the visitor experience around 'Ron Mueck', rather than on changes to the exhibition itself.
Ron Mueck’s work has long drawn attention for its highly detailed sculptural figures and the strong physical presence of his installations. The museum’s use of a personalized AI guide adds a different kind of mediation, offering route and commentary options that can respond to how viewers choose to engage with the exhibition.
Mori Art Museum, based in Tokyo, has introduced the collaboration as part of the exhibition’s tour experience. The announcement identifies Metti as the AI guide and Artlas as the platform behind the service, with both positioned as tools for enhancing access and orientation within the museum setting.
The museum did not provide further operational details in the announcement. The verified information available is limited to the collaboration itself, the AI-guided personalized features, multilingual support, and the connection to the 'Ron Mueck' exhibition at Mori Art Museum in Tokyo.
