Art Aquarium 2019
Avery ChoiThe Eco Edo Art Aquarium is an experimental art exhibition held every summer here at Nihonbashi that combines arts, goldfishes and Edo style altogether.
Experience a colorful array of goldfish swimming through tanks of various shapes and colors. Art Aquarium Museum is a living art exhibition with more than 30,000 goldfish on display. The first Art Aquarium was a temporary exhibition in 2007, located in Tokyo, and ran for two months. Since then, the various inceptions of the art gallery-turned-aquarium have toured Japan and the world, visiting Milan in 2015 and Shanghai in 2018.
Now interested visitors can tour the permanent Art Aquarium Museum in Tokyo. See tanks from the classic fishbowl to geisha-inspired shapes and even cubed tanks. There is a kaleidoscope of colors and shadows to be seen as the goldfish swim through the exhibition pieces. Also available are audio headsets (600 yen) with explanations about the history and inspiration behind each piece. Audio is available in Japanese, English, and Chinese.
Visit the Art Aquarium Museum to see for yourself why this once-temporary exhibit was, for many, a staple of summer. Immerse yourself in this dreamlike world and lose yourself to the schools of shimmering goldfish.
