You’ll walk into a space where metallic orbs, mirrored walls, and endless reflections distort and reflect your image, giving you a brief but powerful glimpse into Kusama’s world.
Kusama’s work asks you to reflect on how you see yourself and the world around you.
The installation reopens on April 5 for AGO Members and on April 8 for the public. You’ll find it in the Sam & Ayala Zacks Pavilion on Level 2.
Each visit to the room lasts 60 seconds, with up to four people allowed inside at once. The experience is included in general admission and runs on a first-come, first-served basis.
Beyond the room itself, you can also join family printmaking workshops starting May 3. Inspired by Kusama’s techniques, these Saturday sessions give you and your kids a chance to make stamps and try screen printing. Tickets cover all materials and admission.
And if you’re in the mood for something different, the AGO is hosting a Kusama-themed Afternoon Tea on weekends from April 5 to May 4. It’s served in the Norma Ridley Members’ Lounge and features special treats like Yuzu Caramel Chocolate bonbons by Chocolat de Kat. Reservations are required.
Kusama, who’s been creating immersive art since the 1960s, continues to challenge how we view space, identity, and connection. Her Infinity Room became part of the AGO’s permanent collection thanks to a massive community fundraising effort in 2018—and now, you can step into it again.

A mirrored column inside the room invites visitors to peer into a seemingly infinite field of silver orbs. The installation welcomes up to four visitors at a time for a duration of 60 seconds.
