What is Art Aquarium?

An immersive entertainment art form that uses light, scent, and sound to create a world with swimming goldfish in aquariums.

"Art Aquarium" presents a unique world where Japanese tradition and cutting-edge art merge, expressing the Edo-period culture of goldfish viewing as contemporary artwork.

A world of fantasy unfolds with the sculptural beauty of the aquarium works, the spatial design, and the goldfish of various beauties.

Since its inception in Tokyo in 2007, it has been held as a limited-time event across the country, with summer events in Tokyo becoming a regular fixture.

In August 2020, the first permanent museum opened in Nihonbashi, Tokyo (Chuo-ku, Tokyo).

It later relocated to Ginza, Tokyo (8th Floor, Ginza Mitsukoshi New Building, Chuo-ku, Tokyo) in May 2022 and is currently in operation. It is an entertainment museum IP boasting a cumulative attendance of 13 million people since 2007 (as of October 2025).
