A toddler puts dots on a white sheet of paper attached to the obliteration station, which is located in the Hirshhorn's Lower Level, as their caretaker looks on.

Stop by our Obliteration Station! Young artists will learn about artist Yayoi Kusama, her practice, and use polka-dots to obliterate their own work of art.

Find the Art Cart on the Lower Level to pick up your materials.

Please note, this experience does not include entry into One with Eternity: Yayoi Kusama in the Hirshhorn Collection. Due to the nature of the featured artworks, free timed passes are required to experience One with Eternity. Plan your visit


Do this at home! Can you paint a dot? Now, can you paint a million dots? Make a painting inspired by Yayoi Kusama’s use of seemingly infinite dots. Create.
