To mark its fiftieth anniversary, the Museum Ludwig in Cologne is dedicating a major exhibition to artist Yayoi Kusama.
The exhibition takes visitors on a fascinating journey through Kusama’s entire oeuvre, from her first drawing, dating back to ca.1934, to a newly commissioned installation. More than three hundred works will be featured, spanning a wide range of media that includes painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, fashion, performance, and literature.
This comprehensive show will extend beyond the Museum Ludwig’s temporary exhibition spaces and into other areas of the building, including its two rooftop terraces. An immersive installation developed especially for the show, featuring an integrated Infinity Mirror Room, will fill the museum’s largest hall.
Yayoi Kusama is being presented by the Museum Ludwig in collaboration with the Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel (October 12, 2025 – January 25, 2026) and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (September 12 2026 – January 17, 2027).
