One of the most epic places I visited in the city of Tokyo in 2018 was the Mori Building Digital Art Museum teamLab Borderless located in Odaiba. This is no ordinary museum, it's an epic, digital and colorful place that will impress anyone, even those who don't like museums. In this article I want to share my epic experience in this museum and recommend it to everyone!
This museum is perfect for a romantic meeting for couples, children and people of all ages. Here you embark on a universe full of colors made through technology using mirrors, LEDs, spotlights, 3D cameras, augmented reality and many other combinations of technology that make a show of lights and colors accompanied by an epic soundtrack.
In addition to the museum being large, the digital artworks are constantly changing in real time, which requires staying all day or making more than one visit to appreciate the entire museum. There are more than 50 works and some still interact with the public.

What can you find at the Mori Building Digital Art Museum?
No Mori Building Digital Art Museum you will find several areas and exhibitions such as:
- Mundo sem fronteiras;
- Floresta de Lâmpadas;
- In Tea House;
- Atletismo Florestal
- Future Park;
Although the website divides the museum into these 5 areas, only the Borderless World It consists of numerous exhibits. You enter and find a place full of mirrors and animations, art and colorful images moving all over the floor and wall along with effects created by mirrors in strategic places. In addition to coming across paintings of works of art.
Advancing a little further you find a room with a half-high floor and a waterfall descending in the middle of it. On the walls you find ideograms falling and if you touch them they dissipate, thus creating an interaction with the visitors. If you go a little further, you'll find a room full of waves and puffs to lie down and relax.
Also on the first floor of the museum you will find a room full of led strips making fantastic animations accompanied by a fabulous soundtrack (it was one of my favorite rooms). You will also find the infinity room, a place full of mirrors with characters and art creating a fantastic illusion of infinity and a spotlight show.
On the first floor you can still find a forest full of lights and a place with exhibits of ancient civilizations and animals. No matter which corner you walk to, there will always be something to impress you. As you climb a staircase to the second floor you can also find a magnificent forest filled with traditional Japanese lamps that change colors.
On the second floor (the other way around) you'll also find Athletics Forest and Future Park, a place full of digital arts that involves exercise and athletics. There you will find giant balls, a slide, a children's play area and two climbing places to test your skills.
On this floor you can also color your artwork and turn it into something digital. Here you will also find the En Tea House where you can have tea together with a digital and interactive experience at your table. Remembering that the museum exit is on the second floor, so leave it to go up to the Athletics Forest after you have explored everything.
I had the chance to record the museum and I made a video that I will leave below:
Mori Building Digital Art Museum and TeamLab Borderless
teamLab was created in 2001, formed by several visual artists, professionals, animators, programmers, musicians, engineers, architects and mathematicians in order to explore a new relationship between humans, nature, technology and art. Borderless means without borders and is linked to the name of the Mori Building Digital Art Museum in Odaiba.
This permanent Museum came about through a partnership between TeamLab Borderless and urban developer Mori Building responsible for creations such as ARK Hills, Roppongi Hills and Toranomon Hills. There is a museum in Tokyo called the Mori Museum, so be careful not to confuse the two.
In addition to Mori Building Digital Art Museum, in Tokyo we have teamLab exhibitions called teamLab Planets. You can also find one of his artworks at VenusFort located in Odaiba next to Pallet Town and also in the neighborhood of Ginza in Ginza SIX. The best thing is to always follow the teamLab website to see all their attractions and works.
In other countries you can find some teamLab digital artwork like the Massless in Helsinki, Finland. In Singapore there was also an exhibition of a crystal tree at the end of 2018. In fact, there is another museum similar to Borderless. In Singapore we have the FUTURE WORLD ArtScience Museum by teamLab.
How to access the Mori Building Digital Art Museum
Access to this museum is in Pallete Town in Odaiba after that car center. Don't try to follow Google Maps, it won't take you anywhere, just go to Pallet Town (where there is the Ferris wheel) and try to go through the place full of cars until you reach the entrance to theMori Building Digital Art Museum.
It is preferable to buy tickets online because the capacity is limited. Unfortunately, the adult ticket is a bit pricey, costing around 3200 yen, but it is definitely worth the investment. It is much better to go.Mori Building Digital Art Museum than paying 3,000 yen to go up SkyTree and come down within an hour.
In my opinion theMori Building Digital Art Museum by TeamLab Borderless is one of the best attractions in Tokyo and Odaiba, you can't visit Tokyo without going there. If you've already had the opportunity to see these works of digital art, share your experience in the comments. Don't forget to share and let your friends know about this epic place!
