teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi has opened two artworks on December 16, 2025: Massless Suns and Dark Suns and Megaliths in the Roots Garden.
The museum, located in the Saadiyat Cultural District, has expanded its 17,000 square metre space with these installations.
New teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi installations blend nature and technology
Megaliths in the Roots Garden features tree roots that extend from the upper level to a lower floor. The roots hang in air and grow without soil. Megaliths surround the roots, creating an interaction between nature and structure.
The lower floor is a continuation of the artwork, showing how roots can develop in conditions that differ from their environment.
Massless Suns and Dark Suns presents light as an intangible medium, creating what the museum calls a Cognitive Sculpture. Visitors interact with spheres of light in a space that changes in response to their presence.
Artworks respond to visitors in real-time
“At teamLab Phenomena, we are always seeking new ways to enhance our visitors’ experience, creating spaces that inspire curiosity, connection and creativity. The introduction of these two new artworks reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and reimagining how art can engage the senses and encourage exploration. These new additions not only expand the possibilities of interactive art but also invite visitors to immerse themselves in ever-evolving phenomena that spark wonder and leave lasting impressions,” Takashi Kudo, Communications Director of teamLab said in a statement.
The artworks change based on the environment and visitor interaction. Each visit offers a different experience as the installations evolve.
teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi describes its approach as “living art”, where installations transform in real-time rather than remaining static.
The museum has introduced hours from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily for visitors to experience the artworks. Tickets are available through the teamLab Phenomena website.
The venue combines art, technology and elements to create installations that visitors can engage with.
