Tokyo's digital art museum, TeamLab Planets, is a surreal digital museum where visitors can walk through water or become one with a flower-filled garden.

The museum-cum-creative space has undergone a dramatic transformation, reopening with a substantial expansion that promises to redefine interactive art experiences for visitors.

Not only has it increased its footprint by 50%, introducing several groundbreaking new spaces that blend art, technology, and education, but visitors can now explore three major new areas that push the boundaries of artistic interaction.

The Athletic Forest offers a multi-dimensional creative space where physical movement becomes art, while the Catching and Collecting Extinct Forest provides a unique opportunity for visitors to engage with digital representations of extinct animals.

Future Park emerges as a collaborative zone encouraging co-creation and collective artistic expression.

More than 20 new artworks have been added to the museum's already impressive collection, featuring TeamLab's signature immersive digital installations. The expansion also includes a Sketch Factory, allowing guests to purchase personalised merchandise created within the artwork spaces.

TeamLab Planets Tokyo"This renovation represents our continued commitment to creating transformative artistic experiences," says a spokesperson for TeamLab. "We're not just displaying art – we're inviting visitors to become part of the creative process."

The reopened museum maintains its location in Tokyo's Toyosu district, promising to attract both local and international art enthusiasts. Visitors can expect to be transported into intricate, interactive digital landscapes that blur the lines between viewer and artwork.

Tickets and further information are available through the TeamLab Planets website.
