teamLab Brings Its Immersive Art Experience to Anaheim With First Permanent US Museum
Set to open in 2030, teamLab's first permanent American museum will feature an architectural exterior that transforms with daylight, reflecting the collective's dynamic approach to immersive art.
Japanese art collective teamLab has announced plans for its first permanent museum in the United States. Tentatively named teamLab Museum Anaheim, the destination will form part of OCVIBE, a 100-acre arts, sports and entertainment district in Anaheim, California.
Designed by architecture firm smith-clementi, the museum features a distinctive facade inspired by organic forms. Its scale-like texture shifts in color as sunlight changes throughout the day, creating an evolving visual experience.
Behind this expressive exterior, the galleries remain almost entirely dark, providing the ideal environment for teamLab's immersive installations. The collective will also introduce a new exhibition developed specifically for the museum, featuring artworks that respond to visitors' movements.

The building's design establishes a visual dialogue with the neighboring ARTIC transit center. While the museum commands attention during daylight hours, its presence softens after sunset, allowing the illuminated transit station to become the focal point.
The museum is scheduled to open in 2030, following OCVIBE's initial opening in March 2027, which will introduce a 5,000-capacity concert hall.
