The Yayoi Kusama Museum is a contemporary art museum in Tokyo, Japan, dedicated to the work of the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.[1] The museum is located in the Shinjuku Ward, in the western suburbs of Tokyo.[2][3]
The five-floor building was designed by the Japanese architecture firm Kume Sekkei.[4] Construction was completed in 2014,[5] and it opened in 2017 with an inaugural exhibition of 600 of Kusama's works.[6] One floor of the museum is dedicated to one of Kusama's infinity room installations, titled Pumpkins Screaming About Love Beyond Infinity.[7]
The museum admits 200 visitors per day, based on timed tickets.[8][7] In 2018, a year after its opening, the museum was rated number one on Time Out's global "do list".[9]
