Sonic Exhibition Across Generations Opens At Ikebukuro PARCO In October
The exhibition treats Sonic as a design and art subject rather than only a game franchise, and it puts official archive material and commissioned contemporary work in the same room.

Ikebukuro PARCO will hold "SONIC the Exhibition -ACROSS GENERATIONS-" at PARCO FACTORY on the building's seventh floor from October 9 to November 1, 2026. The show looks back at the Sonic series through archive displays, development materials, and music, with curation by R11R Inc. and new works from 16 creators including Yusuke Nakamura and Taku Inoue. Admission is 1,500 yen.
The event frames more than three decades of Sonic through five lenses: games, characters, design, music, and art. Alongside archive displays of series titles, scripts, setting materials, and development documents, the venue will present sound sources and music, plus newly produced artworks from 16 creators working from Sonic designs across the generations.
Ikebukuro PARCO organizes the exhibition, with cooperation from Sega, curation by R11R Inc., and planning and production by kanon inc. Tickets for the first three days are sold by lottery as date-and-time specified advance tickets, a measure the venue says is meant to ease crowding. Original exhibition goods and 35th anniversary items will be on sale at the venue.
