teamLab Planets is a popular digital art museum in Toyosu, Tokyo, created by the international art collective teamLab – a Tokyo must-do – for young and old alike.
The teamLab group, was formed in 2001, and is made up of creative specialists, including artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians and architects, who together craft boundary-pushing digital art experiences.
Enjoying the compositions at teamLab Planets is an opportunity to have fun and engage the senses.
Planets is a true tactile experience- with four indoor and two outdoor exhibition spaces. Each features different, large-scale artworks — what teamLab calls “body-immersive” works.
For visitors this means exploring the museum barefoot – at times submerged up to the knees in water (you can stash your shoes and belongings in a free locker before entering).
Visitors wander through maze-like dark rooms that exit into open, light-flooded displays with synchronized music.
teamLab Planets Tokyo has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the “Most Visited Museum (Single Art Group)” globally —making it the world’s number-one most-visited museum dedicated to a single artist (though it’s really a collective).
