The new location will take over the basement level of the Garden Plaza B building in Azabudai Hills. The complex is a newly redeveloped district by Mori Building. It mixes residential towers, offices, a school, and retail spaces.

TeamLab Borderless originally opened in summer 2018. It set a world record in 2019 for most visited single-artist museum. Over 2 million annual visitors from 160+ countries visited. The new location aims to recreate the magic of the original.

Several new artworks will debut at the reopened museum. One is the ‘Bubble Universe‘ installation. It features light-filled spheres creating a shimmer effect. Another is ‘Megalith Crystal Formation‘ with ‘Flowers and People‘ and ‘Black Waves’ artworks.

The art explores concepts like perception, existence and how humans view the world. It’s part of teamLab’s ‘Existence in Perception’ project. The art changes based on visitor behavior for a unique experience.

Other interactive digital installations will also be featured. The reopen aims to create a new viral sensation and social media destination in Tokyo. An exact opening date is still to be set.
