New location across from teamLab Biovortex

The new facility will sit directly opposite the existing teamLab Biovortex Kyoto installation. This indigo-clad space marks the platform's expansion into Asia.

Opening exhibition features light and perception

A major long-term solo show by James Turrell will launch at the site. The survey covers his work on how humans perceive light from the 1960s to today.

Full programming details arrive in December

The venue is expected to reveal its complete schedule later this year. Visitors can expect immersive installations that treat light as a physical subject.
