Naomi Kirk
★★★★★a month agoWe went to see the Ron Mueck exhibition on a Saturday morning. We had pre-purchased our tickets so were able to enter very easily. It's a great museum with really good spaces for the art. And it's a fantastic exhibition! There were plenty of people there but it wasn't too difficult to see everything. The view of Tokyo and beyond is amazing! Recommend! 👌🏻

★★★★★2 weeks agoI have been to Mori Arts Center Gallery on 52nd floor to see the Sanrio final exhibition. You automatically benefit from an amazing view over the city. The Museum Shop is also located on the same floor. Close to the museum is a nice little garden with a pond and a TV Asahi souvenir shop, which I can only recommend visiting.
