Tokyo / Mori Art Museum in Roppongi

The Mori Art Museum is located on the 53rd floor of the Mori Tower in Roppongi Hills. 🍃🌺 In addition to exhibitions, it also features a museum café, restaurant, and an indoor observation deck. I actually came here for the observation deck at first! 🌆✨ 🍃🌺 Louise Bourgeois was a French-American artist, renowned for her installation art, oil paintings, and sculptures. So, I was really surprised to see her fabric paintings and fabric book works here—it was such a delightful surprise! 🎨 🍃🌺 Her most famous work is a giant spider sculpture named "Maman" (Mommy). It might look a bit stern and intimidating, but actually, it's her way of honoring her beloved mother. 🕸️❤️ 🍃🌺 Louise's parents were in the tapestry restoration business, and she was influenced by them. In the later part of her career, she created many warm and cozy fabric paintings and fabric books, inspired by her childhood memories. 🍃🌺 This section was my favorite! 🌟 Louise Bourgeois Special Exhibition 🍃🌺 Dates: September 25, 2024 - January 19, 2025 Tickets: Adults - 2000 yen on weekdays, 2200 yen on holidays 🍃🌺 Address: 53rd Floor, Mori Tower, Roppongi Hills, 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo #Tokyo 🌿 #Japan 🌸 #TokyoMuseum 🎨 #Roppongi 🌇
