What makes this place special?

At a Glance

The Mori Art Museum is a contemporary art museum on the 53rd floor of Mori Tower in the Roppongi Hills complex, Tokyo. At about 230 meters above the ground, it is the highest exhibition space in Japan. The museum opened in 2003 on developer Minoru Mori's idea of placing culture above business, with art set at the top of the tower.

Its program centers on large-scale international exhibitions of contemporary art, and shows have featured artists such as Yayoi Kusama, Ai Weiwei and Anish Kapoor. The galleries were designed by Richard Gluckman, who also designed museums in New York and Berlin. The Mori Arts Center, to which the museum belongs, also includes the Tokyo City View rooftop observation deck. Together with the Suntory Museum of Art and the National Art Center, Tokyo, it forms the Roppongi Art Triangle.
