A Yayoi Kusama Museum Will Open in Tokyo This Fall

They've been displayed in prestigious museums and galleries all over the world, and soon, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama's eye-popping polka dots and mind-bending mirrored rooms will have a permanent home of their own.

According to The New York Times, Kusama's reps at the David Zwirner Gallery have confirmed that the Yayoi Kusama Museum will open in Tokyo's Shinjuku district on October 1. Japanese arts and culture magazine Spoon & Tamago reports that although construction of the five-story structure was completed in 2014, its purpose was not revealed until last week, when the museum's website suddenly appeared and announced the upcoming opening. Per Spoon & Tamago, the first floor of the museum will be home to a gift shop, the second and third floors will hold the 88-year-old's stand-alone artwork, and the fourth floor will feature the celebrated artist's immersive installations (like her signature "infinity rooms"). The top floor will house a reading room, archives, and an outdoor space.

The gallery will reportedly rotate through semiannual exhibitions. According to the official website, the first will be titled, "Creation is a Solitary Pursuit, Love is What Brings You Closer to Art," and will run through February 25, 2018. The museum will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday through Sunday; tickets will cost 1,000 yen ($9) for adults and can be bought in advance for four 90-minute time slots throughout each day.

Although it's unclear whether the Yayoi Kusama Museum will ban photography of its über-Instagrammable installations, it might be a wise idea considering that a Kusama exhibition at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., was toppled by a selfie-taker earlier this year. An exhibition entitled "Infinity Mirrored Room—All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins" was damaged and had to be temporarily shut down after a visitor tripped over a pumpkin sculpture on the floor while attempting to take a selfie in the psychedelic mirrored room. It's unknown how much monetary damage was caused, but Artnet News reported at the time that a similar-looking Kusama piece was sold as a standalone work at a Hong Kong auction for $784,485 in 2015. Selfie-takers, beware.
