Yayoi Kusama Museum
The Yayoi Kusama Museum is a modern art museum dedicated to the work of Yayoi Kusama, a Japanese artist. The museum is located in Tokyo's western suburbs, in the Shinjuku Ward. Kume Sekkei, a Japanese architecture studio, created the five-story structure. The building was finished in 2014, and an initial exhibition of 600 of Kusama's works was held in 2017. One floor of the museum is dedicated to "Pumpkins Screaming About Love Beyond Infinity", one of Kusama's infinity room creations.
If you want to visit the world's only museum dedicated to the fantastically eccentric Yayoi Kusama, make a reservation well in advance. Since the 1960s, the avant-garde provocateur has wowed audiences, but in recent years she has evolved into an online sensation and one of Japan's most influential artists. The museum, which is near her Shinjuku studio, is one of Tokyo's most anticipated debuts in recent years. Only 200 people per day are admitted, preventing Instagram influencers from overwhelming works like the mirrored "Infinity Room".
Location: 107 Bentencho Shinjuku-ku Tokyo 162-0851 Japan
