TeamLab Borderless Is Coming To Jeddah: Experiences To Look Forward To
The museum will span approximately 10,000 square metres in floor area, and include the Borderless World, Athletics Forest, Future Park, Forest of Lamps, as well as En Tea House. Exhibiting some 80 independent yet intricately interrelated works, the collection promises an art experience without boundaries.
According to a report by Design Boom, the Athletics Forest is a creative space based on the idea that the world needs to be understood through the body, and that all three dimensions need to be considered when we observe our surroundings.
Whereas, the teamLab Future Park is an experimental educational project based on the concept of collaborative creation. It’s an amusement park where visitors will engage in building the world with others.
The tea house is also no less than an art exhibit. Hot beverages served there will feature an infinitely blooming flower – representing the ever-expanding world while simultaneously showcasing a stunning floral display.
Currently, teamLab Borderless museums have become a global phenomenon, with over 2.3 million visitors each year. Originally opening its doors in Tokyo in June 2018, the exhibition set to open in Jeddah will be the first in the region.
