Mori Art Museum
Contemporary art on the fifty-third floor, open until ten at night
The combined ticket with the observation deck, art and city in one visit
A developer put a contemporary art museum on the top floors of an office tower in 2003, with an observation deck on the same level, which turns an exhibition into an evening activity. The programme is ambitious and Asian-focused, mixing major international names with survey shows of artists from the region.
Roppongi Hills, the National Art Center and the Suntory Museum form a triangle within walking distance, and all three keep late hours, which makes this the one district in this guide where museums are an evening plan.
