The museum features 80 attractions including installations such as Borderless World, Athletics Forest, Future Park, Forest of Lamps, and En Tea House. It also includes a section dedicated to children focusing on scientific and artistic education. teamLab Borderless previously held the world record for the most visited museum by a single artist group, with over 2.3 million visitors in Tokyo.
