Anaheim, CA — teamLab, the Japanese art collective behind Tokyo’s Borderless digital art museum, will build its first permanent U.S. museum in Anaheim, at the OCVIBE district next to the ARTIC train station, and plans to open it in 2030, the district announced Oct. 29.
What the Museum Will Be
teamLab Museum Anaheim, a tentative name on teamLab’s site, will cover about 110,000 square feet, with largely windowless galleries built for teamLab’s immersive art, and it will open with a new exhibition. “The artworks change with the presence of people, making them an integral part of the art itself,” said Toshiyuki Inoko, teamLab’s founder. “People immerse themselves with their entire bodies, transcending the boundaries between themselves, the artworks, and the world around them, becoming part of a borderless continuity.”
The Building
smith-clementi, OCVIBE’s master planners, designed the museum to sit at one end of the district, where it will be visible from the freeway. Because the galleries need a mostly windowless building, the architects wrapped it in a textured skin with a pattern that suggests scales and shifts color as the sunlight changes. Next to ARTIC, which is glass and lit from within, the museum is meant as its opposite, a solid, colorful building by day that lets the station take over after dark. LPA is the architect of record and is working with teamLab on the exhibitions.
teamLab’s Other Permanent Museums
teamLab’s permanent museums open now include, according to teamLab’s site, teamLab Borderless at Azabudai Hills in Tokyo since Feb. 9, 2024, teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi since April 18, 2025, and teamLab Biovortex Kyoto since Oct. 7, 2025.
What Opens at OCVIBE First
OCVIBE is a 100-acre sports, entertainment and arts district under construction around ARTIC. Its first phase opens in March 2027 with a 5,000-person concert hall, followed by Katella Commons, a 50,000-square-foot food hall, and later that year an office building, the first restaurants, a public art program and the district’s parks.
