The New York Times shared a fascinating video of the MFA’s new Murakami exhibit

If you want to take a good look at the Museum of Fine Arts’s new Takashi Murakami exhibit before you head in for a visit, this video virtually has you covered.

The New York Times shared a minute-long video highlighting works in “Takashi Murakami: Lineage of Eccentrics” in 360-degrees on Thursday (it may take a moment to load):

The exhibit is a collaborative effort between Murakami, a Japanese contemporary artist, and Japanese art historian Professor Nobuo Tsuji to showcase Murakami’s work alongside the museum’s collection of traditional Japanese art.

The 360-degree feature allows viewers to explore wall-length works up close, as if they were in the gallery themselves. Murakami even makes an appearance in the video, speaking into a camera as he walks through the museum. While he does, viewers have the option of keeping the shot on him or panning around the space to peer at the art.

“Takashi Murakami: Lineage of Eccentrics” is on view at the MFA until April 1.
