Please visit the official website for more information.
Located on the 53rd floor of the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, the Mori Art Museum features an innovative and originally-curated contemporary art exhibitions with works by leading Japanese and international artists. But it's the Museum's extensive research for the original exhibitions, learning programs, late opening hours, sky-high location and added attractions of Museum Cafe and Restaurant along with the indoor observation deck, making it truly one-of-a-kind; differentiating this space from any other museums.
Tips
- The “Roppongi Crossing” series, a comprehensive survey of the Japanese contemporary art scene organized every three years
- Arguably Tokyo's best museum shop, selling one-of-a-kind souvenirs and works from your favorite artists (“MORI ART MUSEUM SHOP 53” located within the Museum)
- Combining your Museum visit with one to Tokyo City View, an observation deck that encircles the 52nd floor
Venture into the museum, and you may catch a solo retrospective by Japan's quintessential pop artist Takashi Murakami, a survey exhibition of art from a particular region of the world, or a thematic exhibition showcasing contemporary architecture. If you have a keen interest in Japanese contemporary art scene, plan your Tokyo visit accordingly to make it to its Roppongi Crossing series, which is organized triennially and known for timely showcasing of works by not-to-be-missed Japanese artists.

Should your visit not coincide, the Museum Shops offers a wide range of exclusive and well-priced knick-knacks; other souvenirs pay tribute to the sky-high museum itself.
There also is a ‘combination ticket’ allowing admission to both the Mori Art Museum and the Tokyo City View observation deck.
