Toyota has enabled pre-booking for visitors through its official TEM India website as well as BookMyShow
Toyota Kirloskar Motor has entered the lifestyle space in India with the launch of its first Toyota Experiential Museum (TEM), in Bengaluru. Located inside Phoenix Mall of Asia, the facility is a transition from traditional showroom-style brand engagement to a more culture and design driven format.
Unlike a regular display centre, TEM isn’t focused on sales or pitching vehicles. Spread across 8,200 square feet, the space is positioned as an immersive zone where visitors engage with Toyota’s design thinking, Japanese cultural influences and sensory storytelling instead of product brochures and specification sheets found in traditional outlets.
The layout has been structured as a guided journey rather than an open exhibition according to Toyota. As visitors move through the space, they are first introduced to a large scale visual installation that explores seasonal transitions common to both India and Japan. Using projection mapping, reflections and dynamic lighting, it recreates the shift between summer, monsoon, spring and autumn seasons – a concept rooted in how both cultures interpret time, nature and balance.

From there, the experience progresses into a dedicated audio visual chamber created in collaboration with Japanese performance group DRUM TAO. This section blends high impact percussion with immersive visuals, building an atmosphere around rhythm, precision and cultural rhythm. It’s designed less as entertainment and more as a sensory interpretation of motion, harmony and energy – elements Toyota claims are central to its design language.
One of the centrepieces inside tem is a sculptural installation featuring a vehicle surrounded by a flowing water curtain and satin fabric. With controlled lighting, mist effects and motion, the installation focuses on form, reflection and movement rather than mechanical elements – presenting the car as a piece of art instead of just transportation hardware.

Besides the installations, Toyota has also set up a design focused merchandise zone. Instead of typical brand souvenirs, this section features curated lifestyle products inspired by Japanese minimalism and craftsmanship infused with Indian cultural elements. The experience concludes with a dedicated Matcha Corner where visitors can sample Japanese matcha beverages with Indian-inspired flavours.
The standout offering is a mango-infused matcha drink, developed to indicate the cultural overlap between the two countries through taste. Toyota has enabled pre-booking for visitors through its official TEM India website as well as BookMyShow. The museum is located at Unit G-22, Upper Ground Floor, Phoenix Mall of Asia, Bengaluru, Karnataka.
Commenting on the occasion of the launch, Tadashi Asazuma, Deputy Managing Director, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said, “At Toyota, our vision of creating ‘Happier Paths Together’ goes beyond mobility — it is about inspiring experiences that connect people, cultures, and emotions. With tem, we hope to offer a truly unique experience that embodies this spirit.”
