Enjoy Taking Pictures of Goldfish with a Glossy Look – “ART AQUARIUM MUSEUM GINZA” Has Unique Worldview

The goldfish fascinates us with its beautiful swimming. It has many varieties such as Ranchu, Wakin, Tosanishiki, and Jikin. The “ART AQUARIUM MUSEUM GINZA” was opened on May 2022. You can not only appreciate the various breeds of goldfish but also enjoy the fantastical performance. In addition, it’s a good point that you can take pictures.

ART AQUARIUM, which displays several varieties of goldfish with creative production and has got attention every time it’s held. “ART AQUARIUM MUSEUM GINZA” that we’re introducing this time was built as a permanent place to enjoy without changing direction. The trick that gets the best out of the goldfish’s charm through lights, sounds and scent is amazing, and it’s like stepping into another world. It has taken unique Japanese culture well such as shrine and temple architecture, Edo Kiriko, lanterns and origami, and creates a fantastical world.

To gather attention as ART AQUARIUM’s first trial is a collaboration with “Ikebana” (flower arrangement). The flutter goldfish, and flowers blooming beautifully and solemnly while being arranged boldly compete for beauty. Furthermore, there is an exhibition of artworks created with goldfish motifs by world-renowned artists. It’s scheduled to change regularly, so you will want to visit again and again. One of the features of the museum is that you can take pictures. It seems that the point is to use the light of the aquarium without using the flash. This museum has photo spots, so please try the one that can only be taken here.
