About this audio guide
This guide to the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo starts with the climb past the trading floors and corporate offices filling Roppongi Hills below it, up to a museum that developer Minoru Mori insisted on placing above every boardroom in the tower he spent seventeen years assembling. It covers the museum's deliberately provocative opening show in 2003 and the roughly four hundred sixty works the collection has grown to since. Listen for how late the galleries stay open compared to the rest of Tokyo.
