This summer, we think you’ll go dotty for Yayoi Kusama's obliteration room. Everyone is invited to transform a completely white domestic apartment into a sea of colourful dots. UNIQLO Tate Play: The obliteration room is an interactive artwork for all ages. Visitors are given a sheet of colourful ‘dot’ stickers to help bring the space to life.
As well as having a chance to cover every available surface in the space with bright circular stickers, families can create their own work of art to add to an ever-growing garden in the Turbine Hall.
Please note that you may be asked to queue at busy times.
Last entry to The obliteration room is at 17.15, so please make sure you arrive in good time.
