About this audio guide
This guide to teamLab Phenomena in Abu Dhabi starts with the hundreds of hollow columns holding up the building, each hiding a projector or sensor rather than any real structural weight, and traces how the venue came out of a partnership between the Japanese collective teamLab, Abu Dhabi's Department of Culture and Tourism, and Miral, the government company behind Ferrari World and SeaWorld nearby. You'll hear about teamLab's earlier museum, Borderless, in Tokyo, and what happened to it in 2022. Listen for how the numbers behind this building compare to that earlier one.
