Pop into the Museum of East Asian Arts this Halloween half-term to make your own Yayoi Kusama-inspired pumpkin artwork. Use our pumpkin templates and add your own polka dots in true Kusama style.

With a love for the gourds stemming from childhood, pumpkins are one of the most beloved motifs found in Yayoi Kusama’s artwork. From paintings, to prints, to sculptures, pumpkins appear again and again.

This Halloween, take a twist on the traditional pumpkin symbolism and get dotty!
