More than 30,000 goldfish are the main attraction at a “living art” museum in Ginza, the high-end shopping district in central Tokyo.

The Art Aquarium opened in 2007 with traveling exhibits shown throughout Japan. It is managed by Hidetomo Kimura, who thinks of the fish as live artworks. The museum’s permanent location opened in May 2022 at the Ginza Mitsukoshi New Building.
