Upon entering the Chaos Room, you will likely be greeted by the gallery’s owner, designer, and (mostly) sole contributor, Sunamoto Matsuo. After receiving the entrance fee, Matsuo runs to the back of the space to turn on sound effects, which radiate through the room like an extraterrestrial music box.
The gallery is filled to the brim with surgically reimagined mannequins, medical curiosities, dolls, clocks, mirrors, objects, and paintings, a visual feast that you can navigate to your heart’s content—and at your own risk!

The gallery is located on the second floor, and is only accessible by stairs.
