About Art Aquarium Museum
The museum displays over 5,000 live goldfish of around 100 varieties, making it one of the largest goldfish art installations in Japan.
Its entrance features a lantern bridge inspired by the Kasuga-Taisha shrine, setting a shrine-like, tranquil tone from the start.
The Origamirium centerpiece is a giant bowl shaped like origami, filled with both real and paper goldfish, and is the museum’s most popular photo spot.
The museum collaborates with contemporary artists, including ikebana masters, to create seasonal and evolving exhibits.
Special sensory elements—like spatial audio and forest scents—are used in galleries such as the Goldfish Waterfall to enhance immersion.
