When you see the colorful dot pattern, there should be a lot of people who think of Yayoi Kusama as soon as I do! When I saw her famous pumpkin work, I was fascinated on the spot. I think there should be a lot of girls who love the work of Yayoi Kusama. Kusama Yayois hometown is in Matsumoto City, Matsumoto Citys municipal Matsumoto City Art Museum is mainly her exhibition, even the drink vending machine is her pattern.

A Dreamy Journey: The Enchanting Experience at the Yayoi Kusama Museum
In a corner of Tokyo, the Yayoi Kusama Museum shines like a dazzling pearl, radiating a unique artistic brilliance. Upon entering, you are immediately surrounded by colorful dots, silently narrating Kusama's artistic philosophy and inner world. Each painting and sculpture is filled with her reflections on life and her pursuit of the infinite.
As I wandered through the exhibition spaces, I felt a magical atmosphere. The giant pumpkin sculptures stood like guardians of a dream, inviting you to come closer and touch their vibrant colors. Kusama, with her unique perspective, transforms her inner loneliness and despair into a love for life, allowing every visitor to feel that powerful energy.
In the final gallery of the museum, I encountered her iconic work, 'Infinity Nets.' The profound black and white contrast felt like a journey of self-discovery in the boundless universe. This visit to the Yayoi Kusama Museum was not only an exploration of art but also a spiritual cleansing, helping me find my place in the world of dots.

The small museum was a bit underwhelming as we thought the Tokyo location will feature more variety of her beautiful art. You can find more relevant pieces around the world than what we found here.
Tickets are sold online only and be prepare to wait outside of the museum for your time slot to be called. Please read the museum guidelines as they clearly explain what is expected from visitors.
There is no food or drinks available for purchase in the museum.
Overall it was a nice visit but we expected more.
