The Art Aquarium Ginza Project will open the "Art Aquarium Museum GINZA" on May 3, 2022. Art Aquarium is an exhibition of goldfish art, featuring beautifully dancing goldfish in a uniquely designed aquarium, accompanied by original lighting, sound, and scent effects. The exhibition will now move to Ginza Mitsukoshi (Ginza, Chuo Ward, Tokyo) and open with an evolved art exhibit.



■Opening Scheduled for Tuesday, May 3, 2022 (National Holiday)
The "Art Aquarium Museum GINZA" will open on the 8th floor of the Ginza Mitsukoshi Annex on May 3, 2022. With the theme "A Profusion of Flowers - Evolving Art," ART AQUARIUM celebrates its 15th anniversary with further evolution and a more spectacular space than ever before. In addition to unveiling new works at the grand opening, popular works from previous exhibitions will also be presented with updated presentations. We hope you enjoy the newly reborn ART AQUARIUM MUSEUM.

■A Profusion of Flowers - Evolving Art
Just as a plethora of colorful flowers bloom, ART AQUARIUM MUSEUM GINZA will create a gorgeous fantasy world where traditional Japanese beauty shines alongside the dancing goldfish. ART AQUARIUM, which launched as "Sky Aquarium" in 2007, has evolved into "ART AQUARIUM," specializing in goldfish art. In Tokyo, it has become a beloved summer tradition through a series of limited-time exhibitions. In 2020, ART AQUARIUM evolved into a permanent art museum, the "ART AQUARIUM MUSEUM," offering seasonal experiences year-round. The theme for the museum's second chapter, the Ginza opening, is "A Profusion of Colors - Evolving Art," and it will strive to further evolve. Look forward to a new and unprecedented look at the Art Aquarium, including collaborations with artists active in a variety of fields.

■Facility Overview: Ginza Mitsukoshi


The entire 8th floor of the new Ginza Mitsukoshi building will be reborn as the "Art Aquarium Museum GINZA." From Ginza, the heart of Japan, we will promote Japan's proud traditional culture and the unique aesthetic sense of the Art Aquarium both domestically and internationally. Please enjoy the beautiful goldfish art that can only be experienced here.


■About Art Aquarium
This new exhibition combines art, design, entertainment and aquariums to establish a unique art genre known as "Art Aquarium." It focuses on goldfish and is presented in a fantastical Japanese worldview that highlights traditional Japanese beauty. Approximately 40 exhibitions have been held in Japan and overseas to date.
