10 Best Museums in Tokyo | Condé Nast Traveler

"The Mori Art Museum, the flashiest member of the Roppongi Art Triangle, sits atop the 52nd and 53rd floors of the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower. At about $14 for entrance to the main exhibition hall, this museum is on the steeper side for Tokyo’s cultural attractions. Still, that ticket grants you access to blockbuster works of contemporary art by the likes of Ai Weiwei and Dinh Q. Lê, not to mention a 360-degree panorama from one of the tallest buildings in town. Curators here do an exceptional job of creating exhibitions that are as thought-provoking as they are Instagrammable." - Diana Hubbell

One of my more beloved art museums. Their exhibits rotate quite regularly, which is impressive. The artist selection is always at the forefront of modern art and looking into the future. So you will find a lot of topics relating to the digital and technology. Spaces are always well curated. Staff lovely and the entire museum seems very organised. Themed meals are super cute too.

One of the best museum exhibits I’ve seen in a long time. Every room was laid out so well and and made you want to go deeper. I learned a lot, left inspired and feel like I really got to be immersed in not just the architecture but the mind of the architect.

I was pleasantly surprised by this interesting museum on the 53rd floor of a skyscraper in the heart of Tokyo. I truly loved the inspiring and beautifully curated exhibition on the architecture of Sou Fujimoto. Both visually striking and intellectually rich.

If this genre of art is yours then this museum is for you. 2200 yen entry for the basic ticket, 30 mins and all was completed. They do have a cool gift shop with some funky art stuff to buy. If the weather is good then the Observatory Deck would be great.

I visited a special exhibition with a timed-entry ticket and arrived a bit early, but I was informed that I couldn’t enter the gate until the exact time on my ticket. Fortunately, the staff were kind and helpful, and I spent the time browsing the gift shop and exploring the building. Once it was time, I entered through the gate and took a dedicated elevator to the upper floor, where the restaurant and main exhibition space were located. The exhibition I attended was on the floor above, accessible via another central elevator. The entire upper floor was dedicated to the exhibition, and the spacious layout allowed for a relaxed viewing experience. Since the exhibition featured many video-based works, there were benches and chairs placed throughout the space, making it easy to take your time and absorb each piece comfortably. A dedicated gift shop inside the exhibition space was a nice touch. Almost everything was displayed in English, making it an excellent experience for international visitors as well. The exhibition itself, centered around themes of modern life, was beautifully curated and intellectually engaging.

Caught the AI/digital exhibition while I was there, surprisingly thoughtful and well put together. The curation balanced tech and concept nicely, without tipping too far into gimmick. Finishing with that sweeping city view never gets old. Always a bit of a mixed bag here depending on the exhibitions, but when it hits, it really works. 🤌🏼

WOWOWOOWW speechless!!! Highly recommend this place, it was truly an experience entering this art building. They welcome you with such grace, soft ambience and even has cool art clothing/pieces for you to look at whilst you have an amazing view of Tokyo! We decided to come visit this place because Shibuya sky tower was booked out way in advance and the time slots at night was sold out as well. We managed to secure tickets at this tower on the day for night time. Way less crowded and less tourist. Honestly want to gate keep this but it’s such a hack when coming to Tokyo 🤭 !

I visited this museum around May 2023. It’s definitely worth visiting if you love museums and architecture. There’s a wide range of artworks to explore inside, plenty of great photo spots, and you can even enjoy a nice view of Tokyo from the top.

I haven't visited a lot of museums in Tokyo (yet) but Mori is an interesting spot. They have creative and thought-provoking exhibits. It's also in a tower, way up high--so you can get some cool views before/after your visit. I went there for the AI-exhibit and it made me think differently about the potentials. There's certainly a lot of really bad things about AI, particularly in the creative sphere, but this exhibit showed how people are subverting the use and doing original, individualistic things with it. As most things in Tokyo, there are lot of great food options and interesting things to see in the area, so certainly worth a visit.

Godzilla exhibit at the Mori Museum! It's a little confusing to get inside, but from plaza level you have to take the elevator up to the museum entrance to a lobby where you can pay for the exhibit. They then send you to another elevator to go up to the exhibit floor. The exhibit floor actually has a beautiful view of Tokyo in the hallway behind the exhibit space that was free, in addition to an actual observation deck / viewing space that you can pay for. The Godzilla exhibit took us about 20 minutes, but if you read all of the historical information posted I'm sure you could be there for an hour. It was pretty amazing to see the transformation of Godzilla over time in art and film.

This museum always has good exhibitions! Great space and has beautiful view of the city. Staffs are friendly and helpful. They are very organized. I got lucky to see the Tezuka Osamu exhibition. It was so great. If you are into arts, toy art, comic art, and anime art , you should check out the store in the museum. There are cool selection of art books and art toys! Exhibitions change so the products will change as well but there's always great selection.

We came to visit for the 40th anniversary Fist of the North Star Exhibit. Admission was 2900 yen. This was such a beautiful art space with high ceilings and great lighting. It gave the art more depth and scale. I loved how it was interactive and we were allowed to take photos. The highlight for me was the gift shop. At the end of the exhibit, there was an opportunity to buy some of the artwork and other Fist of the North Star items. Too bad my luggage was already full. I was able to buy some small items such as postcards and acrylic character stands.

We went to the Mori Art Museum right at opening on a Saturday morning. It wasn't on our agenda, but it was 10 a.m. and we had an hour to kill in Roppongi Hills, and all the stores were closed until 11. An hour was enough time to get through the small museum, but we could have used another. We kind of rushed through the exhibition and didn't have time to visit the Skydeck, which seems like part of the experience (though it requires a separate ticket). The museum is on the 53rd floor of Mori Tower, but it doesn't have any windows. This is, I'm sure, to protect the art, which is the whole point of the Mori Art Museum. We caught the tail end of the current exhibition, which runs through this weekend (so if you're one of the five English readers cruising Yelp for Tokyo museum reviews this week...go go go!). It's called WORLD CLASSROOM: Contemporary Art through School Subjects, and it's a cool survey education through a thoughtful selection of artwork, pulled from the museum's collection and various other sources. We accidentally started going the wrong way, and ended up running through empty exhibit rooms backwards and catching a quiet preview before joining the rest of the morning museum crowd. The exhibition was charmingly laid out by school subject: math, philosophy, language, science, etc. This meant the scope was pretty wide, and I'm sure the curators had fun grouping the art according to these broad themes. It was all very cute, but not overly so, and we saw some amazing, thought-provoking art. I loved works by Lee Ufan and Sam Falls, artists from Korea and Southern California. I was also quite struck by the "Bomb Pond" series by Cambodian-born photographer Vandy Rattana, serene images of ponds formed in craters left by American bombs during the Vietnam War. There were two pretty iconic works by Ai Weiwei: Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn, a series of photographs of the artist dropping and breaking a 2,000-year-old urn; and positioned in front of it, an antique vase painted with the Coca-Cola logo. In one little room, I hung out with "Miss Moonlight," a 2020 painting by Yoshitomo Nara, of a serene young girl with her eyes gently closed. There was a jigsaw puzzle of this painting in the museum store, and I actually came back to Mori Tower to buy it later that day, when I realized I couldn't get the puzzle online (it seemed like a bulky purchase right at the beginning of our trip, but I was otherwise happy to support the museum). The museum store was great, incidentally. It was in two spaces, one inside the museum and one just outside, where you could go shop without admission. It's worth checking out if you're in Mori Tower and want to see a cool museum store. We went to teamLabs Planets later in our trip, and I was kind of disturbed by the weird soullessness and immense popularity of the place, which is billed as an art museum but feels more like a cynically erected series of Instagram ops. I'm glad we made it to Mori Art Museum and would highly recommend it if you want to see contemporary art in Tokyo that might evoke, say, thought and emotion. I don't know what future exhibitions might hold, but I'm grateful that we got to catch this one.

Love this museum shop. A nice selection of items. I especially like the Yayoi Kusama items. Not cheap but not super expensive either. Great place to pick up a little gift for the art lovers in your life.

Fantastic museum atop the Mori building in Roppongi. It's not really a traditional museum, as the exhibits change regularly and are based on themes, with a focus on Asian artists. We saw an exhibit on the classroom which was very interesting. Descriptions in English were minimal, so it may be useful to pay for an audio guide. Definitely also go on to the sky deck (great views of Tokyo tower and the skyline) as well while you are there as well as the gift store.

This was one of my favorite sites to visit in Tokyo! It was a refreshing break from our epic food tour, and it left me with a newfound appreciation for the culture and subcultures in Japan. The art is contemporary without being too abstract or difficult to understand, and it provides just enough historical context without being too dry, e.g. a mural is never just a mural but one that symbolizes the destructive effects of westernization or globalization (haha). Some of the themes were a little played out, but I still appreciate the creativity and especially the medium used in many of the pieces. The museum also has a super cute gift shop, but I think the tower is a little overrated.

I am picky with museums. My sweet spot are smaller museums with narrower exhibits. I actually came to Roppongi Hills for the Skydeck, and I'm so glad I didn't bypass the museum. In Jan 2020, there were two great exhibits I enjoyed: one on Japan's trains/transportation, and one on futuristic city concepts. Loved them both.. Don't miss the art store on 3F! I bought a lot of cool gifts there, and was wowed by the customer service by email when I returned to the US and wanted to purchase more of an item I really liked.

It's located in Roppongi Hills, which you'll know you've arrived when you see a giant spider sculpture outside. The museum itself is in the upper floors, which I had trouble finding unless I asked employees there. There are coin-op lockers near the admission entrance for you to place your personal items in. There's also a discount for the museum if you provide your school id. The exhibits are very different from what I usually see in U.S. museums. A few words to describe them would be clever, innovative, and abstract. They probably change the exhibits every so often so the ones I saw may not be current. A slew of them were a forced perspective gaseous mass from slivers of glass, ghost-like mirror reflection into a classroom, room with infinite mirrors, and the famous gravity defying building exhibit. The reason I like this museum is because they let you interact with the exhibits. Everyone had a great time at the gravity defying exhibit, which made for many instagram photos. It also gives you a sense of how easy it is to trick the mind into seeing art or illusions based on mirrors. I'd say this is a hidden treasure of Tokyo that doesn't get enough attention because it's a museum. But don't let that dissuade you from seeing how Japanese art museums can be extremely innovative.

This modern + contemporary art museum is part of the cultural Roppongi development with a wide selection of museums. Mori Art is slightly smaller in scale than the Tokyo art museum -- but still vast in its collections and crowded, too! I appreciate their finely curated works. They also had a concurrent Doraemon exhibit of the cutesy cartoon! Admission was 1800 Yen (1500 for seniors) to see the Leandro Erlich exhibit + Skyview, which I went for. A bit higher than I expected -- perhaps because it's the fall peak season (red maple season). The museum had a great collection of the Argentinian artist's interactive installations, including Reflecting port, Dressing Room (so fun with all the yellow curtains and mirrors!), and Building -- a hilarious favorite, where visitors appear upside down and all around a building front that lies flat on the floor, but is projected upright using a mirror. Visual fun!! There were a few times that we had to wait in line to take in the views (the apartment and elevator installations), but everyone was polite and didnt push around. Speaking about elevators -- the ride to get to the building's sky view was so tight! but we managed to fit a ton of people on each ride. Don't forget to breathe! Apart from their great art curations, the sky view is another great highlight at Mori Art Museum. I loved seeing the Tokyo skyline in its crazy busy glory! Like a building tetris! You could also see the mountains and sea in the distant background. There was also a great view of the red and white Tokyo Tower! So many photo ops. I highly recommend.

A pretty decent museum in the heart of Roppongi. The focus is contemporary art and the exhibits change every few months. Sometimes you get really excellent cutting edge exhibits and other times you get bland conceptual art that involved minimal effort which only the artist and curator will appreciate. Admission is steep, so check out the exhibitions online before you plunk down your cash. The Sky Deck - skip it. Way to expensive - you can see the same views from either the gift shop or restaurant areas for free... it's a money grab. And if it's raining or a hazy day don't even think about it.

Not into art that much, but I can still enjoy most of the exhibition they have here. Obviously mostly contemporary stuffs, but they do have some old school stuffs like Rembrandt occasionally.(which cost extra). Lots of exhibits I've been to were good for kids as well. I've seen many "participating" type of art. Definitely a good place to broaden your "art" horizon here.

Somehow I had it in my mind that the museum had evening hours but I was wrong and the museum was closed and I missed seeing the Hokusai exhibition. But we had so much fun exploring the large scale public art outside and photographing the city from the different views that I was consoled. You can see Tokyo Tower from here. There is also a movie theater and the ubiquitous shopping. There was also an art supply store nearby too. So plan better than me when you go.

The Mori is all about contemporary art and so the art is going to be a bit... different. The highlight here is the Sky Deck, but let's look at the art first. The museum is on the 52nd floor of this massive tower, so it's a brief elevator ride to the top where you'll be welcomed by the friendly staff and sold a ticket to the exhibit. Interactive and modern art, such as the room that was a collection of buttons (yes, like from clothes) that visitors were encouraged to toss one at a time with the intent of getting it to land on a small platform. "Winners" were immortalized on a nearby list. A small flight of stairs that apparently has something to do with "a love story involving a man and a woman set in Hiroshima." Like many modern art exhibits, the display was beyond my comprehension. After scratching my head at a few of those, I made my way to the Sky Deck. From the 53rd floor of a tall building, you don't get a much better view of Japan than this. Many of the windows around this level of the building are clear for looking out of, so you can get a pretty good look all around the city. It was an overcast day for my visit, unfortunately, though I could still see as far as Haneda airport. Well worth the admission price unless the weather is truly bad and visibility is very low.

The Mori Art museum is one of those place you like to come back to. There are many temporary exhibitions and getting to the 52nd floor is a nice experience since you get to see the great view of the Tokyo skyline. I got some tickets to the Louvre N9 exhibition last weekend and went to see it with a coworker. The exhibition ends this weekend so you still have time to go take a look. If you like comic books or the Louvre museum then this exhibition of for you. I was surprised by how well curated the exhibition. The different artists and their work were presented in such a way that is was very easy to follow the stories and enjoy the quality of the drawings Roppongi is a location I really enjoy. Especially because of the modern architecture and nice views. Visiting the Mori Art museum is a must if you are in the area.

This is not for the content but for the organization: I came here for the Hokusai Updated exhibit. I was not really interested but my husband had mild interest so we decided to get tickets. At no time during the process were we informed that not only was there a line to get the tickets (while a bunch of people yelled at you in super hurried Japanese that really raised my anxiety), but inside there were several lines that took up at least 1.5 hrs to get through. I won't even line up this long for something I like and my husband was regretting coming in as soon as we saw the initial line for the museum. We were made to line up in a room with very little ventilation. I had some issues with the space and lack of air and had to distract myself the whole time with reading something so I don't freak out. Then once we got up the elevator there was another winding line (more people yelling) with a confusing layout. While I understand the culture may be different and it's not their fault that I don't speak Japanese enough to be comfortable with so many of them speaking quickly and loudly to me, if I had known the line would be this long I definitely have gone elsewhere and spent the time exploring the area. As it's, half my day was wasted lined up and having people hurrying me from one place to another and taking very loudly to me for an exhibit that I'm not even interested in. Epic waste of precious travel time. The exhibition itself was objectively good. Large number of pieces and well curated. It's really unfortunate that by the time I got to it I was so exhausted that I just looked for a chair to sit while my husband perused.

Nice museum that changes it exhibitions every two months, ours was great! In fact, it was from an Argentine artist! =) Leandro Erlich, "Seeing & Believing." Soo wonderful! And of course, the sky tower after. Lindo museo que cambia sus exhibiciones cada dos meses, la nuestra fue espectacular! De hecho, fue de un artista Argentino! =) Leandro Erlich, "Seeing & Believing." Taan genial ! Y obviamente, después terminas en la sky tower.

Mori is a beautiful contemporary art museum located in Roppongi. The museum is high up in the Mori Tower. The museum features immersive exhibits from contemporary Japanese artists as well as films. It is well worth a visit and should take about 3-4 hours to see everything. There is also a very upscale mall surrounding the Mori tower for dining and shopping after your museum visit. Highly recommend.

So fun!! This is not usually how I would describe a museum but this was actually FUN. Could be due to the Space Invaders exhibit that's on display now. I thought it would be just a plain ole explanation of how the game was developed blah blah blah but NO! The whole exhibit was a collection of video games...3D, immersive video games. Definitely go in a t-shirt cuz you'll work up a sweat (and cuz it's kinda hot inside). Also on exhibit is Seeing and Believing by Leandro Erlich. Oh, and you also get a nice view of Tokyo!

This is my favorite museum of all time and I am so glad we came! Located in the nice Roppongi Hills area, the Mori Art Museum includes a contemporary art museum on the 52nd floor of the Roppongi Hills Tower and a wonderful Tokyo City View observation floor (great for daytime views of the city!). Tickets were ~$18 USD for adult admission to the museum and city view (you can pay $5 USD to also go up to the sky deck), and while the museum is smaller than most museums, the exhibits were very interesting. The city view offers a 360 degree view of Tokyo in all its splendor, and the overall experience of this museum + city view was well worth the trip. I highly recommend anyone visiting Tokyo to stop by here!

Such a cool museum to enjoy at Roppongi! During different part of year, the museum features different shows and exhibitions that last for a couple of days. It is currently having an exhibition on the art of universe, including contemporary photos, videos and designing pieces. Trying to look at the world from a completely different angle was of so much fun! My favorite piece of art show was the evolution of the beam of light. Standing inside a dark room, one would be able to observe the whole evolution period of light, and started to realize the smallness of human being living on earth, and the grandness of universe. Very impressive!

I loved this museum, possibly my favorite one so far. It was so unique and weird...yet I loved it. We were going to skip the Tokyo City View but SO GLAD WE WENT. We went around 4:30pm, just in time for the sunset and it was gorgeous. I would recommend going around that time. The museum itself had such interesting exhibits - dark rooms with intense music/sounds as you just sit and watch some odd videos. There were many paintings and art pieces that were really abstract, new and unsettling in a satisfying way. Tickets are about $18 each, which I think is worth it. It was smaller than expected though.

If you're into contemporary art this is a must-see during your time in Tokyo. The museum occupies the entire 54th floor of the Mori Tower in Roppongi Hills. We were there in 2012 and saw a solo exhibition of work by Lee Bul, a female artist from South Korea. This time we caught a show called "Roppongi Crossing 2019: Connexions". It was a group show of up and coming contemporary Japanese artists. There were paintings, sculptures, installations, video art, etc ... It was a fabulous show in a wonderful space. I'll definitely return if I am lucky enough to make it back to Tokyo.

I came here with my friend at her urging even though I'm not normally a fan of museums, so take my review with a grain of salt. When we went, it was displaying an exhibit that detailed the history of wood in Japanese architecture. Now, to her this was extremely interesting since she was formerly a Japanese culture study, but I need something a little more mentally stimulating, you feel? Truth be told, there were many elaborate dioramas of Japanese buildings which were neat, but they could only hold my attention for so long. I was hoping for more visually interesting displays, but the best one was at the beginning and the lighting made it difficult to get a good photo. It just wasn't an exhibit for me! I'd recommend you look up beforehand what kind of art they're displaying so you have a good idea of what you'll be spending several hours at.

Visited the museum on two different occasions with completely polarizing experience. The first visit was in 2009 for an Ai Weiwei exhibit. That was great - it was an evening visit coupled with a stop at the sky deck for some wonderful cityscapes with all the lights. Tickets were easily purchased with no wait. Once you got in, plenty of room to strut around and look at the art pieces. The most recent visit was for Tim Burton's exhibit in December 2014. It was jam packed with poor line management. Feels like a Disneyland ride with lots of waiting followed by more lines and waiting. The worst is once you get into exhibit, it was elbow to elbow with people, barely any space to move. Being crammed in like a box of sardines is definitely not the way to appreciate any kind of artworks. What should have been done was a time slotted system where people can purchase tickets in advance but asked to come back at specific slots for more popular exhibits.

The best way to check out the scenic gorgeousness that is the top floors views of the Mori Tower in Roppongi is to purchase a ticket to one of the interesting and topical museum exhibits. That's how hubby and I enjoyed a picturesque and relaxing afternoon reminiscing about the Sailor Moon fuelled frivolity of my youth and enjoying the amazing 52nd floor. A quick note on the exhibit itself, though I'm aware it's temporary. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful way they presented the various art, merchandise and vibe of one of my favourite childhood animes. There was a lack of English signage but this is to be expected and did nothing to detract from the overall experience. Of particular note and well worth the visit, whether a Sailor Moon fan or not, was the Chibiusa pop up cafe. It's particularly interesting that all the themed food on offer is sourced from the kitchen of the far more pricey Sun & Moon restaurant next door. It may look you're typical themed food - all glitz and glamour with no real substance - but the curry, spaghetti and deserts shared by myself and hubby were to die for and very reasonably priced considering the effort put into brilliant menu design. The other markedly attractive feature about the meal was that we were fortunate enough to snap up a window table, complete with gorgeous panoramic views of the Tokyo skyline at sunset. A view you'd pay an arm and a leg for at any other place purchased with simple good luck and a museum ticket. Whilst enjoying the exhibit we also had access to a break taking 360 degree view of the Tokyo skyline at night. It's a truly spectacular sight and one that we'll cherish for many years to come. You can pay for the view by itself but it's far better value to combine it with an exhibit (as museum entry and sights are included in the exhibit price). For 1800 yen I found the Sailor Moon exhibit, along with attached sights, sounds and flavours, to be one of the best value attractions I've visiting to date in Tokyo. If there's an exhibit on that tickles your fancy I would thoroughly and adamantly recommend a visit to this Roppongi staple.

Situated on the 42nd floor of Roppongi Hills tower sits the Mori Art Museum. You can also see the Tokyo City View, and any other expo they currently have displayed (when we went it was Ghibli, which is nice because the tickets sold out for the museum a month before arriving). It is a beautiful museum, one they put much thought into curating. The space is used well, with a lot of odd but fantastic pieces. They even had a video playing on repeat for the eerie sounds of space, which was odd to listen to while viewing other pieces but being the theme of Space for the current exhibit, 'tis fine. Very eerie. I'd go on a weekday - moving about the museum was easy enough, but the moment we went into the Ghibli Expo, it was absolutely jam-packed. Moving became like molasses. On the plus side we got a free little portrait of us, with the city view in the background! Overall I'd love to visit this museum again to see all the other cool kinds of exhibits they'll have.

After admiring the views atop Mori Tower, we were pleased to find out that our ticket included admission to the Mori Art Museum. When we went we saw the Lee Mingwei exhibit, which is interesting for adults and kids alike. It's a really extensive exhibit spanning multiple rooms - by the end we were rushing through a bit because we had to get going but you could definitely spend a couple hours just lingering. I liked how interactive many of them were, though the themes were a bit obvious. Besides the exhibit itself, the space is super clean, super quiet, and very tranquil. There isn't much staff around to speak of, which surprised me. At all the museums I go to in the US, there's always a cranky guard standing around to tell you to move back or not touch things. I guess in Japan those things go without saying!

Bottom line at the top: must visit in Tokyo! The exhibits are a perfect balance between international and Japanese art and the views from the sky deck are gorgeous. -- I visited the museum several times in 2011 as I was interning in the building (you get a small Mori employee discount) and all of the exhibitions were exceptional. Great mix of multimedia art, children's exhibits, and they mix it out at a good pace so that you'll come back multiple times. If you're going to visit for the sky deck I'd highly recommend coming mid-morning, otherwise it can start to get super crowded with visitors.

Mori art museum is one of the best contemporary art museum in Tokyo. And also the highest museum in the world! Mori art museum is not a big one, located in Roppongi hills 52th floor, mainly exhibits contemporary art. Recently I visited Mori for the exhibition of Andy Warhol, 15 minutes eternal. The exhibition was great, not only because of Warhol's great famous paintings and even customized car, but also Mori always presents these masterpiece in a modern and refreshing display. Again, Mori art meseum is not a big one, but big enough to host a good theme contemporary exhibition, while small enough to stroll around, even back and forth. If you'll stay in Tokyo more than one year and love contemporary art, you may want to check out their annual pass 'Mori art museum and Tokyo city view passport' which costs 5250 yen. This pass grants you the annual access to sky deck area too.

The exhibits change every now and then. Some are interesting, some are not. The sky deck and the museum come in a package, so if you do go, take advantage of it.

I only did the "Art of Gundam" exhibit -- it was a blast. This review will be for the experience on this exhibit as I only toured this specific one. It was very interesting to see the history of the Gundam and how far back it went. The art, the anime, the models and gunpla was so fun and exciting to look at. There were many rooms with art and in chronological order, at the end, they showcase the newer gundams and end with an exclusive store. I ended up picking up an exclusive Art of Gundam RX7 model and was fairly cheap at 1200 yen. Take the time to appreciate some of the great art and scenes that has gone to make one of the best robot mech anime to be created!

Roppongi is famous for museums and this is one of the biggest and the most famous museums in Roppongi. It is located near the station. This museum shows mainly contemporary art. If you want to enjoy other aspects of Roppongi, you may want to get out of this big building. Near the building there is a big piece of art that looks like a spider. From the entrance you can see Tokyo Tower.

Beautiful museum. Line a little long but worth it. You go up to 53rd floor and get a great view of Tokyo before entering the exhibition. Loved the space. Murakami exhibition was wonderful.

I came here on a whim whilst visiting Tokyo because I wanted to see the best view of the Tokyo Tower lit up at night. I had some time to kill while waiting for the sun to set, so visited the Dinh Q. Le exhibit. Given that the exhibit was focused on the Vietnam war, it was quite depressing, but still very well done. The space is great and the cafe has excellent views of the Tokyo Tower, as promised!

Contemporary art museum high atop Mori tower. Interesting exhibition, but perhaps a little flashy. Historical artifacts meet contemporary art, novelty items, and videogame-esque CG. 1600¥

Really good museum; I had fairly low expecatations, but was suprised at the quality of the exhibits, and the spaciousness. If you like contemporary art, this is definitely worth seeking out. The neighborhood isn't too exciting during the day, but the Mori and the adjacent environs (a cool design shop is located downstairs).
