Monsterize Yourself for Halloween
Get Strange With Us

Have a monstrous Halloween with Takashi Murakami’s weirdly lovable and lovably weird monsters! Blurring the line between frightening and fun, Murakami’s first solo exhibition in the Bay Area imagines the hopes and fears of the digital age as a colorful assortment of larger-than-life monsters.

Murakami: Monsterized is the perfect place to find inspiration for a monstrous Halloween costume. Share your transformation (and see how everyone else is getting monsterized) using #MurakamiMonsterized and tag us at @AsianArtMuseum!
