Yayoi Kusama spent decades turning polka dots, pumpkins and infinity into some of the most recognizable art in the world. Now, following the Japanese artist’s death on August 14 at 97, her work is giving Americans plenty of opportunities to step into her kaleidoscopic universe.
Kusama continued making art until her final days, leaving behind a career that stretched from the New York avant-garde of the 1950s and ’60s to the Instagram-famous Infinity Mirror Rooms that made her a global icon. If you want to experience her work in person, here are the U.S. museums where you can currently find Kusama.
RECOMMENDED: One of NYC’s most beautiful museums will reopen in October, with a special 25th anniversary exhibition
Los Angeles: The Broad
The Broad has two Kusama Infinity Mirror Rooms in its permanent collection, making it one of the easiest places in the country to get your infinity fix.
"Infinity Mirrored Room—The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away" (2013) is an immersive, mirror-lined chamber filled with flashing LED lights. It requires a free timed reservation—as in, you get one minute inside—with tickets released monthly. Meanwhile, "Longing for Eternity" is displayed on the museum's third floor and can be viewed without a reservation.
Cincinnati: Cincinnati Art Museum
Kusama's "All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins" is currently on view at the Cincinnati Art Museum through October 18.
The 2016 Infinity Mirror Room surrounds visitors with yellow pumpkins covered in black polka dots, creating the illusion of an endless field of gourds. The exhibition also includes a rare group of 12 pumpkin paintings dating from 1990 to 2004.
Tickets are $17 for adults and free for museum members. They are released online a month before each visit date.
Houston: Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
If you're in Houston, you can experience one of Kusama's most hypnotic installations anytime with no end date.
"Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity" (2009) is currently on view in the Kinder Building at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The mirrored installation, inspired by a Buddhist ancestral ceremony, uses timed sequences of lights to create the sensation of an infinite space.
Access is limited to three visitors at a time on a first-come, first-served basis. Timed tickets may be required.
New York City: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
New Yorkers can also get a dose of Kusama at the Guggenheim, where her "Infinity Mirrored Room—Dancing Lights That Flew Up to the Universe" is included in Guggenheim Pop: 1960 to Now.
The 2019 installation surrounds visitors with points of light that appear to stretch endlessly through mirrored space. It's scheduled to remain on view through January 10, 2027.
More Kusama is coming
And if you're traveling outside the U.S., there are even more opportunities to see Kusama's work. Her official site lists a major exhibition opening at Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum on September 11, 2026.
