TeamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi is an innovative interactive art museum opening in Abu Dhabi. This unique space features immersive art installations where the environment itself creates the artworks through various phenomena.
What is TeamLab Phenomena?
TeamLab Phenomena is a futuristic art museum where you become part of the art . Unlike traditional galleries, the artworks here are created by the environment itself—like swirling lights, floating sculptures, and digital butterflies that react to your movements. The art changes constantly, blurring the line between the artwork and the world around it. Think of it as stepping into a living, breathing universe!

Architecture
The architecture of TeamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi was jointly designed by teamLab Architects and MZ Architects. The building is created from the inside out, with the art experiences forming the core of the design.
The interior features curved shapes found in nature that engage visitors physically, helping to create stronger memories of the experience. The exterior is like a fabric draped over these internal experiences, with no clear boundary between inside and outside. This design philosophy means the building itself is an extension of the artworks within, creating a seamless experience where the architecture and art are unified.

Art Projects to Explore
Morphing Continuum
A glowing, shape-shifting sculpture made of light spheres. Even if you touch it, it magically repairs itself!
Levitation Void
A floating entity that levitates in the air without suspension. It sometimes rises, sinks, or falls to the ground before repairing itself and floating again.
Spontaneous Order in Chaos
Colorful digital strokes swirl around you, creating order from chaos. Touch them, and watch patterns form!
Massless Amorphous Sculpture
A floating sculpture made of soap bubbles that drifts in the middle of the space. This immense form has ambiguous boundaries and can restore itself if gently disrupted, though it collapses if damaged too severely.
Circulating Universe of Water Particles
Become part of a flowing river of light particles that react to your movement.
Biocosmos
Inspired by flocks of birds, this installation portrays how many individual elements can form what appears to be a single giant life form through coordinated movement.
Continuous Trajectories in Flux and Form
Walk through a 3D world of swirling lines that change shape as you move.
Wind Form
An artwork representing wind through flowing particles that interact with visitors and the space. The installation transforms the room into a sculpture of wind.
Flutter of Butterflies
Butterflies bloom from the walls and floor where you touch. They flutter around you in a playful dance.
Each artwork at TeamLab Phenomena directly exists in the same space as the visitor, removing the traditional boundary between viewer and art. Instead of looking at art, you become part of it, with your presence influencing and interacting with these dynamic creations.
