The five-floor building was designed by the Japanese architecture firm Kume Sekkei.[4] Construction was completed in 2014,[5] and it opened in 2017 with an inaugural exhibition of 600 of Kusama's works.[6] One floor of the museum is dedicated to one of Kusama's infinity room installations, titled Pumpkins Screaming About Love Beyond Infinity.[7]
The museum admits a fixed number of visitors per day, based on timed tickets.[8][7] In 2018, a year after its opening, the museum was rated number one on Time Out's global "do list".[9]
