Cosplay all day! Open now Be drawn into the world of manga. From Inuyasha to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, from Ōoku: The Inner Chambers to ONE PIECE, beloved manga series have captured the hearts of readers across the globe. Art of Manga is the first major exhibition in the Americas to explore them as an art form. Whether you’re an otaku or a novice, this show has something for everyone. Get tickets Thinking inside the box Discover influential manga artists, or mangaka, and their distinct approaches to storytelling. Through compelling narratives and captivating imagery, each mangaka’s work invents worlds that may be familiar or supernatural, historical or futuristic, contemplative or action-packed. These tales address universal themes such as coming of age, tapping into hidden strengths, and finding beauty in the ordinary—as well as contemporary issues such as environmentalism, gender roles, LGBTQ+ rights, and socioeconomic inequality.
