This innovative art space in Tokyo has brought together the creative ingenuity of the teamLab art collective and the latest technology to create a borderless world where art is in constant motion and transcends physical boundaries.
Art Beyond Borders: The Philosophy:
In the heart of teamLab Borderless lies a unique philosophy. This philosophy suggests that art isn’t limited to the physical or visual senses. Instead, it’s an experience that involves all our senses.
Here, you’ll find an array of digital light installations akin to a waterfall of lights. The idea is to offer a multi-sensory experience. Each building is designed to invite interaction, creating an engaging environment.
The art at teamLab Borderless isn’t just for looking; it invites participation. Every corner of this expansive space showcases captivating 3D art installations. As a visitor, you’re not just a spectator. You become part of the art.
You get to immerse yourself in exhibits like the Crystal Universe or the Forest of Resonating Lamps. Each experience in the museum blends music and visuals. This mix captivates your senses and inspires your creativity.
In short, teamLab Borderless offers an unforgettable journey into a limitless world of art.
New Chapter: Toranomon-Azabudai Project:
However, as with all things beautiful and transient, teamLab Borderless is set to close its doors on August 31 due to an ongoing redevelopment project of the Odaiba Palette Town area.
The famous museum’s closing has been the topic of much speculation. Where could such a stunning digital art museum find its new permanent home in Tokyo?
After much anticipation, teamLab has revealed its exciting plans. The new teamLab Borderless museum has been integral to the impressive Toranomon-Azabudai Project, opened in 2024 before the Cherry Blossom Festival under a new name, teamLab Borderless: MORI Building DIGITAL ART MUSEUM, Tokyo.
This sprawling ¥580 billion project, spanning roughly 8.1 hectares between the vibrant neighborhoods of Toranomon and Azabudai, aims to redefine city life by offering more encounters with art and greenery.

An excellent example of this is their new night-time attraction in Osaka. It’s in an extensive botanical garden and promises to be an eye feast. The teamLab group is genuinely dedicated to their art.
teamLab doesn’t stop there. It keeps drawing people in with its ongoing show in Mifuneyama Rakuen. This exhibition mixes the beauty of nature with digital art. It’s a sight that visitors won’t forget.
