Yayoi Kusama Museum

ArtClosed todayFrom £1100Ushigome-Yanagicho Station (Toei Ōedo Line)

Museu compacto de cinco andares em Shinjuku, fundado pela Yayoi Kusama Memorial Art Foundation e inaugurado em outubro de 2017, inteiramente dedicado à artista de vanguarda Yayoi Kusama. Em vez de uma coleção permanente fixa, o museu apresenta aproximadamente duas vezes por ano uma exposição temática, com obras do próprio acervo de Kusama que percorrem desde os primeiros desenhos até instalações espelhadas imersivas e esculturas infláveis. A entrada é feita exclusivamente mediante compra antecipada de ingresso on-line, em horários marcados de 90 minutos, o que mantém o número de visitantes reduzido e permite uma visita tranquila.
