About teamLab Planets TOKYO
A “body-immersive” museum where you become part of the artwork through water, mirrors and light.
teamLab Planets TOKYO is an immersive digital art museum created by the art collective
teamLab. Unlike a normal museum where you simply look at artworks, Planets is designed so that
your entire body becomes part of the experience.
You walk barefoot through dark corridors, water-filled spaces, mirrored rooms and gigantic interactive
projections that react to your movement. Some of the most famous installations include:
-
Waterfall and Light – climb through flowing digital “water” that moves around your legs.
-
Floating Flower Garden – walk among thousands of real flowers that rise and fall as you move.
-
Infinite Crystal World – a room of hanging LED lights that seem to extend forever in mirrors.
The museum is especially popular with couples, friends and Instagram lovers, but it’s also a unique
experience for families with older children (younger kids may find some dark areas intense).
