teamLab Borderless

teamLab Borderless first opened in Odaiba in June 2018, and in 2019 it was entered in Guinness World Records as the most visited museum in the world dedicated to a single group of artists. The museum in Odaiba closed in August 2022, and a new, larger version opened at Azabudai Hills on 9 February 2024.

There is no map and no fixed route: the works themselves move between the rooms, respond to the presence of people, and sometimes blend into each other. Among the permanent installations: the infinite world of bubbles (Bubble Universe), the room of resonating lamps, and the infinite world of crystals. The central idea is art without borders between one work and another, and without a border between the viewer and the space.

Good to know

  • Dark clothes reflect less in the mirror rooms, and comfortable shoes matter because you walk a lot without sitting down.
  • With no map or route signs, it is easy to miss a room without noticing. If you want to see everything you need more than two hours.
  • Buy on the website in advance: on weekends tickets sometimes sell out a few days ahead.
