Actor Mone Kamishiraishi attended the press conference for the art exhibition "Impressionism from the Musee D'orsay - A Tale of Interiors" held in Tokyo on May 13th.
Kamishiraishi will serve as the exhibition's ambassador and audio guide navigator. Kamishiraishi, who also works as a voice actor and narrator, was asked about expressing herself through her voice and replied, "The most important thing is to be conscious of putting your heart into the subject you are voicing." "This time, the subject is a painting, so I want to look closely at the painting, feel its breathing, and do my best to be a good companion to the viewer," she said enthusiastically.
The exhibition will be held at the National Museum of Western Art in Ueno, Tokyo (Taito Ward) from October 25th to February 15th, 2026. With a focus on around 70 masterpieces from the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, also known as the "Hall of Fame of Impressionism," and around 100 other pieces including important works from Japan and abroad, the exhibition will trace the interests of Impressionist painters such as Manet, Monet, Degas, Renoir, and Cézanne in the theme of interiors and their expressive challenges. It will be the first time in about 10 years that the Musée d'Orsay's Impressionist collection has come to Japan on this scale.
