Immersed in Wonder: teamLab’s Largest Museum in Japan

On October 7, 2025, the art collective teamLab will open its largest museum in Japan, a permanent space called Biovortex Kyoto, in the city’s Minami-ku district. Spanning more than 10,000 square meters, the museum will feature several installations, some never before seen in Japan.

Among them is Massless Amorphous Sculpture, a floating sea of soap bubbles that drifts, fragments, and reforms in midair, its presence ambiguous yet alive. 

Morphing Continuum explores the same principles, showing how separate elements can appear as a single entity that transcends time and space. In The Way of Birds, thousands of digital birds wheel through the air in unison, like a living organism made of flight.

The Eternal Universe of Words layers endless streams of calligraphy across an infinite plane, their sounds weaving into a continuous chant. And Forest of Resonating Lamps, familiar to visitors of teamLab Borderless in Tokyo, returns with glowing lamps arranged in a single continuous path of light, a stroke drawn through the air.

Among other highlights are Athletics Forest, a multi-dimensional space designed to enhance physical and creative thinking, and Future Park, a collaborative area where visitors co-create evolving artworks. Other immersive installations include interactive jumping and climbing spaces, colorful sliding and waterfall experiences, and creative ecosystems where visitors’ drawings come to life. 

teamLab

Founded in 2001, teamLab is an international collective of artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects. Their practice explores the boundaries between art, science, technology, and the natural world, and their work often seeks to dissolve the borders people perceive between themselves and the world around them. Exhibitions have traveled from New York to Singapore, Paris to Silicon Valley, and their permanent spaces now stretch from Tokyo and Abu Dhabi to Macao and Jeddah, with Hamburg and Kyoto now joining the list. 

Miru’s Tip: As the museum is just opening and expected to be very popular, same-day reservations may be difficult, we recommend booking in advance.
