teamLab Forest Fukuoka

This guide to teamLab Forest Fukuoka, on the fifth floor of BOSS E-ZO Fukuoka beside the Hawks stadium, explains why a museum here asks visitors to wear sneakers instead of staying quiet. It walks through the Athletics Forest, built by the Tokyo art collective teamLab around glowing stepping stones and shifting spheres meant to train the same spatial sense a climber or goalkeeper relies on, and the Catching and Collecting Forest next door, where dozens of projected creatures scatter the moment they sense you. Wear sneakers and expect to sweat, the guide promises, whichever half you start with.
