The exhibition will also feature a photo area where fans will be able to take photos with Kirito and Asuna, the heroes of Sword Art Online. Additionally, ‘Lisabeth’s Smith Shop’ will be on site, offering patrons the opportunity to purchase official Sword Art Online merchandise never before available in Australia.
