teamLab Phenomena Set to Open in Abu Dhabi this April

Get ready for an unforgettable experience as TeamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi opens its doors to the public on April 18, 2025. Located in the Saadiyat Cultural District, this new immersive art space is a collaboration between the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), Miral, and the groundbreaking art collective, teamLab.

An Immersive Journey Like No Other

Spanning a massive 17,000 sqm, TeamLab Phenomena offers a multi-sensory art experience designed to engage all your senses. It’s not just an art exhibition – it’s an exploration of sight, sound, and touch. The exhibits invite visitors to experience art in an entirely new way, encouraging interaction and connection with the environment.

The concept behind TeamLab Phenomena is simple yet revolutionary: the art doesn’t exist in isolation. Instead, the surrounding environment creates the artwork, which evolves as guests engage with it. No two visits will ever be the same, offering a dynamic, ever-changing experience that will leave you in awe.

A Fusion of Art, Science, and Technology

At the heart of TeamLab Phenomena is the fusion of art, science, and technology. The artwork is constantly in flux, shaped by the interaction between the environment and the visitors. This creates an immersive journey that invites people to rethink how they engage with the world around them.

According to Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of DCT Abu Dhabi, the opening of TeamLab Phenomena is a significant milestone for the Saadiyat Cultural District. He says, “Saadiyat Cultural District is a testament to Abu Dhabi’s commitment to preserving heritage while embracing a forward-looking vision. The District will convey a message of cultural diversity, inspiring global connections and fostering new ways of thinking.”

Innovative Design and Architecture

TeamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi isn’t just about art – it’s about the entire experience. The space itself is designed to enhance the art, with the architecture playing a vital role in creating an environment where the exhibits can evolve organically. The design, conceptualized by teamLab Architects and realized in collaboration with MZ Architects, will complement the dynamic nature of the installations.

Toshiyuki Inoko, Founder of teamLab, explains that the artworks in TeamLab Phenomena are not static objects. Instead, they are born from the environment itself. “The artworks in TeamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi do not exist independently, but are created by the environment which produces the various phenomena that cause the artworks to exist,” says Inoko. “The environment produces the phenomena, and the environment maintains the existence of the structure.”

A Unique Experience for Abu Dhabi

TeamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi will feature exhibits that are unlike anything you’ve seen before. The installations are part of teamLab’s broader concept of ‘Environmental Phenomena,’ created through years of experimentation. The constantly transforming art installations will be unique to Abu Dhabi, making it a must-visit destination for art lovers, technology enthusiasts, and anyone looking for an extraordinary experience.

This innovative new venue will offer a world of limitless creativity and wonder, inspiring visitors to think in new ways and ignite their curiosity. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a tech lover, or simply looking for a new experience, TeamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi promises to be a game-changer in the world of immersive art.
