How long will I have in the Yayoi Kusama Infinity Room?
You are given 1 minute inside the Yayoi Kusama Let’s Survive Forever Infinity Mirror Room — a time guideline instituted by Kusama herself! You will experience the Infinity Room with the group you come to WNDR with. Exposure to COVID-19 is an inherent risk in any public place where people are present, and despite taking precautions we cannot guarantee you will not be exposed during your visit. We will keep the door open during your experience to allow for airflow.
Photography is allowed and encouraged! Touching the artwork is strictly prohibited. No personal belongings except a phone and a camera are allowed inside the room. Upon entry, you must wear shoe covers that we provide. Once you exit the Infinity Room, no re-entry is allowed.

We are located in Chicago's West Loop at 1130 W. Monroe St.
