A Dreamy Journey: The Enchanting Experience at Yayoi Kusama Museum
In a corner of Tokyo, the Yayoi Kusama Museum shines like a brilliant gem, radiating unique artistic light. Upon entering, you are immediately surrounded by colorful dots, which seem to silently narrate Kusama's artistic philosophy and inner world. Each painting and sculpture is filled with her reflections on life and her pursuit of infinity. As I wandered through the exhibition spaces, I felt a magical atmosphere. The giant pumpkin sculptures stood like guardians of a dream, inviting you to come closer and touch their vibrant colors. Kusama, with her unique perspective, transforms her inner loneliness and despair into a love for life, allowing every visitor to feel that power. In the final gallery, I encountered her iconic work—'Infinity Nets,' where the profound black and white contrast felt like a journey of self-discovery in the boundless universe. This visit to the Yayoi Kusama Museum was not only an exploration of art but also a spiritual cleansing, helping me find my place in the world of dots.
Although the museum has three floors, it does not collect so many works, it can only be said to be a concept museum. Like large pumpkin sculptures, boats full of protruding objects, there are no in the museum. It is possible to see other exhibitions, but there are still some impressive parts. Although the content of the exhibition is not much, the ticket is only 1100 yen, plus walking to the Omotesando area, if you come to Tokyo to go shopping, you can stop by.
Colorful exhibition. No long queues like in Seattle, Washington and Toronto. Ticket prices are unusually reasonable. The cafe is comfortable and the food inside is not bad. The exhibition of Kusama Yasuo (Kusama Yayoi) was the most special experience I have recently visited Japan.
The room for the works was interesting. Her lines and points were very beautiful from different perspectives. Surprisingly, it wasn’t boring. We could only see the permanent collection. We had a great time and the trip was worth it.
Easy to buy tickets, very good
You need to buy tickets and set the visit time on Trip.com or Taobao in advance. It is a museum for Yasuo Yasuo's personal, four-story single-family building. Some of the photos and manuscripts of Yasuo Yasuo's young era. The works on display are not as much as her personal exhibitions elsewhere. No photos can be taken inside.
