I’m usually a love-it-or-hate-it person when it comes to museums and experiences — no in-betweens.
Some days I fly through giant exhibits in 20 minutes. Others, I get completely absorbed.
teamLab Planets? I went in curious… and came out quietly wowed.
I assumed I’d just be intrigued by the popular exhibit and shrug off the rest — but it stayed good.
That said, I did move through it quickly (I have a crowd aversion), but it didn’t feel rushed. It just hit right.
🌟 Final Thoughts
Go with zero expectations. Let it be weird. Let it be soft. Let it surprise you.
