A Gateway to Digital Art

Hamburg's HafenCity will soon be home to a groundbreaking cultural landmark — the UBS Digital Art Museum. Set to open its doors by the end of 2025, this innovative space will mark the first European location for teamLab, a Tokyo-based interdisciplinary art collective renowned for pushing the boundaries of digital and immersive art. Having already captivated millions of visitors at their exhibitions in Tokyo and Shanghai, the Hamburg venue promises to deliver a similarly transformative experience to Germany.

The museum’s flagship exhibition, teamLab Borderless, offers a visual and sensory journey that blends art, education, and entertainment. Visitors can explore stunning, interactive environments where digital projections respond to their movements, creating dynamic worlds of colour, sound, and light. Picture yourself wandering through a forest of illuminated hanging lamps or standing before a waterfall that adjusts its flow to your presence. This seamless fusion of art and technology inspires exploration and connection, fully immersing audiences in a truly borderless experience.

Backed by entrepreneur Lars Hinrichs, the UBS Digital Art Museum aims to become one of Europe’s foremost platforms for digital and immersive art. With its ambitious vision and cutting-edge design, it is set to become a cultural highlight for locals and tourists alike, offering a unique way to experience art in the heart of HafenCity.
