At a Glance

The Suntory Museum of Art is a private museum of Japanese art inside Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi, Tokyo. Its collection centers on the theme of art in daily life and holds around 3,000 objects, among them one National Treasure, 15 Important Cultural Properties and 21 Important Art Objects.

The museum opened in 1961 in Marunouchi, moved to Akasaka in 1975 and settled in its present home in Tokyo Midtown in 2007. A renewal completed in 2020 was supervised by Kengo Kuma, who also designed the Tokyo Midtown Garden Site where it stands. Glass is a well-known strength of the collection, including Edo kiriko, Satsuma kiriko and works by Émile Gallé. Together with the Mori Art Museum and The National Art Center, Tokyo, the museum forms the Roppongi Art Triangle.
