Sands Resorts Macao and art collective teamLab will launch a monumental digital-only museum at The Venetian Macao in January 2020.
The as-yet-untitled permanent museum will be housed in The Venetian Macao’s Cotai Expo Hall F, boasting 5,000 square meters of floor space. With eight meter-high ceilings throughout, space will be transformed by teamLab into an extremely complex, three-dimensional world with varying elevations, featuring constantly changing, immersive artworks. Currently, under construction, the museum will unveil new pieces.
What teamLab calls a “body immersive” museum, the new destination at The Venetian Macao will be a world of artworks that blur the boundaries between the human body and art, challenging the conventional notion of the ‘physical’. Visitors will immerse themselves in the art with others, allowing them to explore new, continuous relationships that transcend the boundaries between themselves and the world.

Japan’s spring season is famous for the blooming of cherry blossoms throughout the country from around mid-march, but if you’re in Japan you would have noticed that the pink season actually starts around a month earlier, when the
ume blossoms (or plum blossoms) start to bloom.
Ume blossoms are similar to cherry blossoms, but often come with much brighter hues. However, their similarity is strong enough to confuse even the most knowledgeable expert.
In Japan, almost every flower has its very own festival, and the ume blossom is no exception, with festivals celebrating its beauty throughout Japan.
