New museum has fishy following - 4th September 2020

Tokyo, Japan has opened its first permanent Art Aquarium.

Every summer since 2007, visitors have visited the stunning art aquarium in huge numbers. Now, the display has its first permanent museum.

Visitors will be able to see 30,000 goldfish in special tanks, which include moving projections and coloured lights.

The exhibition contains both rare and common goldfish and the display will change with each season of the year.

The tanks are like sculptures and fill the exhibition space.

Art Aquarium is headed by artist Hidetomo Kimura, who believes that fish are living works of art. He sees fish as an ignored area of Japanese art. The Art Aquarium hopes to show their beauty in a new way.
