The Infinity Mirror Room At Phoenix Art Museum In Arizona Will Transport You To A Different World
No need to wait until a carnival comes to town to visit a house of mirrors when there’s a semi-permanent one right here in Arizona! It’s an exhibit known as the “Firefly Room” at the Phoenix Art Museum, and stepping inside is a transcendental experience.

This expansive gallery has been showcasing thousands of works from all over the world for the past 60 years, ensuring everyone who visits leaves a more cultured person.

It's impossible to get bored among so many eye-catching sculptures, paintings, and several other artforms that constantly pull your attention in a different direction.

The full title of Kusama’s installation at the Phoenix Art Museum is You Who are Getting Obliterated in the Dancing Swarm of Fireflies, but many refer to it simply as the Firefly Room.

Kusama has suffered from hallucinations since she was a child, and her infinity rooms attempt to illustrate the psychedelic sensations of the ‘self.’

Strands of LED lights suspended from above transform this deceptively small space into a vast, never-ending galaxy where nothing is as it seems.


Stepping inside this immersive art piece is truly a one-of-a-kind experience and photos simply cannot fully do it justice. Make a trip to the Phoenix Art Museum to see it for yourself!
