On the 53rd floor of Mori Tower: no permanent collection, open until 22:00.

If you go up to the 53rd floor of Mori Tower, you find a museum without a permanent collection: each exhibition has its own installation, its own hours and its own ticket (currently a solo show by Ron Mueck). It stays open late, until 22:00 on weekdays during the current exhibition, and is often paired with the Tokyo City View ticket one floor below, but they remain two separate admissions.

The museum opened on 18 October 2003 in Mori Tower at Roppongi Hills, about 230 metres up: it is the highest exhibition space in Japan inside a building. The space was designed by the American architect Richard Gluckman, who had already designed the Whitney Museum in New York; the founder Mori Minoru wanted a museum at the top of the tower instead of the usual offices, to make culture the symbol of the complex. An official notice announces a closure for works from 24 September 2027, with reopening expected at the end of April 2028.

ℹ️ 10:00–22:00 (Tuesdays until 17:00 during the current exhibition, except three holidays a year, open until 22:00); no fixed closing day, except during exhibition changeovers. Ticket for the current exhibition: 2,100 yen on weekdays, 2,300 at weekends and on holidays (students 1,300/1,400, over-65s 1,800/2,000). Directly connected to Roppongi Station (Hibiya Line, 0 minutes' walk from the exit).
