Abu Dhabi's New Multi-Sensory Art Attraction

Abu Dhabi: A Marvelous Multi-Sensory Art Experience Opens

A new era has opened today in Abu Dhabi’s cultural scene with the inauguration of teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi, a revolutionary multi-sensory art attraction in the heart of the Saadiyat Cultural District. This experience center is a joint development between the internationally acclaimed teamLab art collective and the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, and it has become one of the world's most unique interactive art spaces.

Living and Breathing Art

The teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi offers a completely new interpretation of art across more than 17,000 square meters. The artworks here are not traditional static pieces; instead, they are living, changing phenomena that interact with their environment and the movement of visitors. Built on the triad of light, sound, and motion, these experiences take on new forms with every visit, ensuring that no two experiences are alike.

The artworks continuously respond to natural environmental changes like humidity and temperature, as well as the movements of visitors, creating the sensation that one truly becomes part of the art.

Between Two Worlds: Dry and Wet Zones

The experience center is divided into two main sections: dry and wet areas. In the dry area, visitors encounter a variety of installations that respond to their movements, creating an interactive relationship between art and the individual. The wet area is accessible via a dedicated path where visitors physically become part of the artworks — merging into the art through the interplay of water and light.

Epicenter of Art and Culture

teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi is part of the Saadiyat Cultural District, situated alongside world-renowned institutions such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, the Zayed National Museum, and the Abu Dhabi Natural History Museum. With this new attraction, the cultural district further solidifies its role as one of the world's most exciting art and cultural centers.

Opening Hours, Ticket Prices, and Accessibility

The experience park is open daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Ticket prices are as follows:

Adults: 150 dirhams

Youth (ages 13–17): 115 dirhams

Children (ages 3–12): 50 dirhams

Free entry for children under 3 years

For convenient access, free shuttle buses are available from certain locations in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
