KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 (Bernama) -- Internationally acclaimed and popular art museum, "teamLab Planets TOKYO DMM" (teamLab Planets) in Toyosu, Tokyo is set to unveil a large-scale expansion on Jan 22, next year.

According to a statement, the expansion increases teamLab Planets' area by 1.5 times, introducing an extensive space themed around educational projects.

The new additions include Athletic Forest, a complex, multi-dimensional creative athletic space; Catching and Collecting Extinct Forest where visitors can capture and study extinct animals; and Future Park, a collaborative space for co-creation, featuring over 10 new artworks across these spaces.

Unlike the existing Water Area and Garden, where visitors experience the artworks barefoot, visitors in Athletics Forest, Catching and Collecting Extinct Forest, and Future Park will explore the complex, three-dimensional spaces wearing comfortable shoes.

Additionally, a new Sketch Factory will be established, allowing visitors to take home original products (such as tin badges, hand towels, T-shirts, tote bags, and paper crafts) featuring the drawings they create within the artwork spaces. Furthermore, the outdoor areas will also undergo a major renewal.

Tickets for visits until February 2025 are now available for purchase on the official website.

A museum where visitors walk through water, and a garden where they become one with the flowers, teamLab Planets comprises four large-scale artwork spaces and two gardens created by art collective teamLab.
