Inside teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi

You’ll enter a striking red room where a massive black sphere floats in mid-air. Unlike typical museum displays, this sphere isn't suspended by wires or supports – it simply hovers. Interact with it by gently pushing the sphere, watching it respond to your touch, sometimes falling but always rising back to its floating position. It's a fascinating blend of art and physics that will leave you wondering: how is this even possible?
2Massless Suns and Dark Suns
This space is filled with floating spheres of light that respond to your touch, creating a ripple effect of illumination through the room. As you explore, mysterious dark spheres appear in your peripheral vision – but try to photograph them, and they vanish! This installation plays with your perception, making you question what's real and what's illusion in the most delightful way.
