Dallas Museum of Art

In loving memory of Yayoi Kusama (1929–2026), whose works invited the world to experience the infinite wonders of the universe through her eyes.

Kusama often spoke of her muse, the pumpkin, as a self-portrait that reflected her own spirit. Inspired by her own childhood memories of kabocha squash growing near her home and their whimsical shape, the pumpkin became a recurring motif in her work.

The Dallas Museum of Art is immensely proud to have in our collection her spectacular infinity mirror room "All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins" (2016), preserving the evolution of her transcendent vision.

Today, we celebrate her life and the enduring light of her art. And the next time you see a pumpkin, remember Kusama.

New trees on the block! 🌳

The Dallas Museum of Art is a little greener this summer thanks to a generous donation from the Texas Trees Foundation and Downtown Dallas, Inc.

As they put down roots and grow alongside our community, we thought they deserved honorary names. 👀

Got a creative idea? Drop your best tree names in the comments —we'd love to see what you come up with! 🌿
