Yayoi Kusama Museum

Yayoi Kusama Museum

YayoiKusamaMuseum was founded by the avant-garde artist YayoiKusama, and is run by the YayoiKusama Foundation. It opened in 2017 with the aim of spreading and promoting Kusama’s art, exhibiting her works and related materials to contribute to the development of art as a whole.

Yayoi Kusama is a famous Japanese contemporary artist, known as the Queen of Polka Dot. In the past years, she held several exhibitions in Japan including Tokyo and Kyoto for temporary time, drew a large number of visitors from Japan and abroad, and ended with great success.

In October 2017, Yayoi Kusama’s very own museum has finally launched in the heart of Tokyo, Shinjuku area after we have all been longing for it.

The museum is open from Thursdays to Sundays and National Holidays, from 11:00~17:00 with only four admission times with a 90 mins time slot. Tickets must be purchased in advance and they are sold only online, which are released at every first day of month for for two months in advance.

So far, the museum has been extremely popular, and tickets seem to be sold out right after releasing so make sure to secure your tickets before visiting.
