Best known internationally for her prolific work with orange polka dots, the avant-garde sculptor, painter and novelist Yayoi Kusama now has a new museum (as of October 2017) devoted to her work and life. There's a lot to see, with closely packed paintings and other works spread out over five floors and a rooftop area. Exhibitions change a few times a year.

Tickets are sold online for 90-minute slots, with a limit of 50 visitors per period. Tickets go on sale at 10am on the first of the month for time slots two months later. They tend to sell out quickly, so check the site early.
