Mori Art Museum 森美術館

Tokyo's leading contemporary art museum, 53 floors up in Roppongi Hills, open until 22:00 most nights and paired with the Tokyo City View observatory.

About

Perched on the 53rd floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, Mori Art Museum stages ambitious, well-curated contemporary exhibitions of Asian and international artists (recent years have brought Ron Mueck, Louise Bourgeois and Ai Weiwei), always with a strong participatory or immersive streak. There is no permanent collection, so check what is on. The great draw is the timing: it stays open until 22:00 on most days, so you can see an exhibition and then step into the Tokyo City View observation corridor on the 52nd floor to watch the city light up, with Tokyo Tower framed in the windows. The museum is scheduled to close for renovation from September 2027, so it is fully open through 2026. Photography is allowed in most exhibitions.

Highlights

• Late opening until 22:00 most nights
• Big-name contemporary exhibitions with lots of interactive work
• Exhibition ticket combined with Tokyo City View 52nd-floor observatory
• Louise Bourgeois's giant spider Maman at the foot of the tower
• MAM Screen and MAM Project rooms for emerging artists

Tips

• Tuesdays close at 17:00, plan around it.
• Go at dusk: see the show, then catch the night view from Tokyo City View.
• Buy online to save ¥200 and skip the 3F ticket queue.
• The Sky Deck rooftop (extra fee, weather-dependent) is open-air and worth it on clear nights.
