After a brief stint in Nihonnashi, Art Aquarium’s permanent exhibition reopened in Ginza, where it has made a new home on the 8th and 9th floors of the Ginza Mitsukoshi New Building. The aquarium is headed by self-described ‘art aquarium producer’ Hidetomo Kimura, who sees goldfish as living pieces of art and wanted to create a space where people can admire and appreciate these mesmerising creatures.
Here you can view thousands of goldfish swimming in glass vessels of all shapes and sizes, and they are illuminated with moving projections and multicoloured lights. You’ll find both rare and common goldfish on display across the museum’s nine exhibition spaces including the Origamirium, the Goldfish Bamboo Grove and the Goldfish Corridor.
