The wildly popular work of artist Yayoi Kusama is back at D.C.’s Hirshhorn Museum.
“One with Eternity: Yayoi Kusama in the Hirshhorn Collection” is on display at the museum as of April 1. The exhibition will feature two of Kusama’s “Infinity Mirror Rooms.”
The rooms that became a social media sensation in 2017 “represent the continuing trajectory of the artist’s bold investigation of space and time through illusions of infinity,” a statement by the museum said.
The return of Kusama’s artwork generated a lot of excitement.
Sonia Membreno told News4 she lined up more than an hour ahead of time to get her tickets, which the museum will offer on a first-come, first-served basis. She said she found about 30 people in line — and many more showed up when ticketing opened at 9:30 a.m.
The museum will issue free, same-day timed passes to the exhibition starting at 9:30 a.m. on the museum’s plaza. Hirshhorn Insiders members will be able to preview the exhibition and book passes online. Read more at NBC 4.
