Tokyo, December 1, 2023 -- Mori Building Ltd. and the art collective teamLab announced today that they will relocate and open the MORI Building DIGITAL ART MUSEUM: EPSON teamLab Borderless (hereinafter "teamLab Borderless") to Azabudai Hills in early February 2024. Originally opened in Odaiba, Tokyo in June 2018, teamLab Borderless is a world of digital artworks without boundaries, and a "museum without a map," created by teamLab. The original facility closed in August 2022 in preparation for the relocation.

Among the artworks to be presented at the relocated teamLab Borderless, Bubble Universe and Megalith Crystal Formation will both make their world debuts. Offering a number of works that cannot be seen anywhere else in the world, teamLab Borderless will once again become a unique destination in Tokyo, promising to evolve even more than before.

Through this collaboration with teamLab, Mori Building looks forward to offering an immersive digital museum in the heart of the city that will attract people from all over the world and contribute to Tokyo's growing magnetism as one of the world's great cities.

About Mori Building, Azabudai Hills and teamLab Borderless

Mori Building, which views culture as an important element of urban development, has created unique cultural facilities in Tokyo, including the original MORI Building DIGITAL ART MUSEUM: EPSON teamLab Borderless (opened in Odaiba, Tokyo in 2018), a collaboration with teamLab that contributed to Tokyo's global magnetism.
At a time when people are becoming more aware of wellness, the role of culture and art in enriching people's hearts and minds is becoming increasingly important. From this perspective, it was decided to relocate teamLab Borderless to Azabudai Hills, where "Green & Wellness" are central concepts, in the belief that teamLab's artworks, which seek to explore new relationships between oneself and the world through art, will stimulate visitors' senses and nurture their cultural sensibilities. Together with other displays, including diverse culture showcased in Azabudai Hills Gallery and public art installations throughout the Azabudai Hills complex, Mori Building aims to create a museum-like community integrated with art and culture.

Ever-evolving teamLab Borderless

teamLab Borderless, a "museum without a map," showcases borderless digital artworks produced by the art collective teamLab. The borderless artworks expand dynamically into adjacent rooms and communicate with, are influenced by, or intermingle with each other.
Through such a group of works, teamLab Borderless is one borderless world without boundaries. Visitors can additionally immerse themselves in the borderless art to "wander, explore, discover in one borderless world." The new EPSON teamLab Borderless in Azabudai Hills will evolve, move, interact in complex ways, and forever change.
