Small space with various exhibits throughout the year. Well located next to Tokyo Midtown. Came here for the recent event: 2121 Futures In-Sight. Installations are separated by categories: fashion, technology, food, politics, art, etc. and their predictions for the year 2121 from experts in these fields. There were lots of text and some of them had English translations. Would recommend for those interested in the future and how technology has and will change over the years.

I went mainly for the architecture of the building, which was great. The exhibition themselves are nice, and very interesting if you are a designer, but can get repetitive at some point. It is 1400 yen for admission, so think about it twice.

A beautiful exhibition space hosting design-related exhibitions. I went to see “The Originals” exhibition and loved it. It showcased many different contemporary design masterpieces and did a good job at explaining and exploring the exhibition thesis. A must-see for design enthusiasts and newcomers alike. The park the museum is set in is also very beautiful.

One of my favourite venues around Roppongi and in Tokyo in general. First of all the entire place was designed by Tadao Ando, so that alone gives you a reason to go and see it. Then there are the exhibitions which I also find amazingly curated and presented. I highly recommend checking out the most recent exhibition which is up until December 2022.

I think your experience will vary greatly depending on what is being exhibited at the time. The exhibition that we went to unfortunately did not interest me so I felt that it wasn’t worth the ¥1100 admission fee. However, the architecture itself and also the free entry exhibition area were very nice. If you are not interested in the current exhibition, just simply skip that part for best result.

This is a really unique museum! I went while they were displaying about the Arc de Triomphe being wrapped. But they change their collections often, so it maybe be different now. It is very well set up with some interactive portion and videos too. Also, while I was there a guide gave us a brief overview of the history and goal of the design center which was super interesting too. I definitely recommend it if you like design~

All time favourite museum in Tokyo. The latest exhibition was ‘The Original’, very interesting concept with many beloved designs. 👍🏻👍🏻

The building and gardens alone justify a visit: high art in architecture IMHO. The current exhibition (Nov23) is in two parts. Galleries 1 & 2 feature the theme of design materials. Gallery 3 is a separate exhibit of the work of the glass artist (whose name I forget) who designed the Tokyo Olympics torch. I enjoyed them both.

A small museum designed by Tadao Ando! What an interesting place! Feel free to visit!

The architecture itself is very modern & stylish! I put some of their past exhibition pictures. (Dominic Chen 2020.10.16-2021.3.7)It's always very inspiring to see the modern art. :))

(Translated by Google) Master Tadao Ando’s art museum architectural work, the design concept is to pay tribute to the Japanese national treasure-level costume designer Issey Miyake, using Miyake’s unique concept of using traditional Japanese origami design to make clothing with a piece of cloth, and folding a piece of paper into the entire building. , To complete this case, and at the same time, in order not to affect the park view, the volume of the building is buried as much as possible in the ground. It is a very splendid sketch of public architecture work, it is worth coming to experience~~ (Original) 安藤忠雄大師的美術館建築作品,設計概念是向日本國寶級服裝設計師三宅一生致敬,運用三宅獨有的利用日本傳統摺紙設計用一塊布製作服裝的理念,將一張紙折起整棟建築的手法,完成本案,同時為不影響公園景致,將建築量體盡量往地下埋藏,是一件十分精采的小品公共建築作品,值得來感受~~

Small museum with rotating exhibits. Very unique design to the museum itself--underground. The museum, sitting in the middle of a small park in Tokyo, looks like a tiny 1-floor building with an interesting roof structure, but it actually extends underground a fair distance. Only one other floor below, but wider below than above. On our visit, provided a fascinating multi-media overview of the life of a modern art pair, and examples of some of their work. 21_21 doesn't take long to visit, but was worth the time and money. Recommended.

(Translated by Google) It's very exciting. (Original) とても刺激的です。

I was sold on this when it started with a quote by Carl Sagan (appropriately framing the entire exhibition in the cosmic context of spacetime) 🌌🖤🙈 As our global, collaborative effort towards the climate emergency gets severely sidelined (sadly due to us being stuck on all things regional identity-based), “The Futures In-Sight” exhibition IMHO is a hugely thought-provoking, and era-appropriate exhibition for all who feel the urge to connect and focus on what we can do together as global people 🌎 If you can read Japanese you may get a little more from it, as some of my favourite parts of the exhibition were quotes from thinkers / artists / scientists etc. active in different fields on how they think of, and from our future in the year 2121 in connection with the now (as well as the past). But they also have a QR code for each quote and installation which loads the descriptions right into your browser. So a workflow for getting them translated e.g. via Google Translate, I imagine would be relatively seamless ↔️ If you’re a philosophy-oriented person (in absolutely any disciple or background) I think you’ll really appreciate the exhibition! And lastly, what I always fail to describe with words, I hope these gazillion photos would help fill some of the void ✏️📸

A beautiful building set amongst a meandering park setting. The gallery spaces themselves are quite small but well curated with good descriptions in both Japanese and English. The primary gallery downstairs is much smaller than expected, so the entry fee is a bit expensive but worth the visit for the architectural pilgrimage alone

(Translated by Google) I like the events here because they are unique every time. There are new discoveries. The building and exhibition are not very big, but you can get a lot of satisfaction. On the contrary, it is also recommended to drop in casually because it is not so big. Also, the illuminations outside were very beautiful! There are many foreigners, and I felt the atmosphere of watching the illuminations together, regardless of adults or children, was very warm. (Original) ここの催し物は毎回個性的でとても好きです。新しい発見があります。 建物、展示がとても大きいわけではないですが満足感をとても得ることができます。逆にそんなに大きくないからこそ気軽に立ち寄ってみるのもオススメです。 また、外のイルミネーションもとても綺麗でした！外国の方も多く、大人こども関係なくみんなでイルミネーションを見ている雰囲気がとても温かく感じました。

Museum is simple and neat. Surrounding landscape is nice and qiet. However, with just one exhibition on display at any time, the admission ticket price is too high.

(Translated by Google) I heard rumors and I heard it for the first time, but it was a good exhibition that made me think very much! I wish a similar exhibition would come to Osaka. (Original) 噂には聞いていて、初めて伺いましたが、とても考えさせられる良い展示でした！ 大阪にも同じような展示が来てくれたらなぁと思います

Such an amazing museum! The building is architecturally stunning and is very photogenic. Would highly recommend checking out this place.

Sightly design! Tadao Ando and his concrete underground lair. It's neat and resembles the mines of Moria in here minus, the balrogs. There was a text iconography-type exhibit, which wasn't super cheap (¥1500) so I'd recommend tracking down some discount tickets in Shinjuku or Ueno before you go. I feel like this would be a good venue during the summer to escape the heat. The display space to the left as you enter was free! Glorious. There was a bunch of stuff by an American guy there. I was lured by the name "Monet" on the outside. It was ok. Don't miss the other cool spaces around Midtown! So many! Also a nearby ice skating rink, but there's no way I'm risking my life on that thing.

Heavenly spaces, smart exhibitions, layout and atmosphere is perfect. Issey Miaki, may he rest in peace, gave the architectural gift to humanity, a Tado design, precision construction in a heavenly garden. Experience it. The staf wear the Miaki designed clothing, an extra for the visitor's delight.

Beautiful architecture by Tadao Ando So happy we got to experience Graphic exhibit!

The building and structure was amazing. Lighting and how art was staged was also beautiful. But overall, it was ok. I wish there was more to see. Not bad!

Beautiful Museum with breath taking exhibitions. Visited this place many times over the past years.the space always adjust to the exhibition theme always thoughtful and creative.

One of my favorite museums in Tokyo in terms of architecture (by Tadao Ando). The museum has two buildings: one main building and a second smaller one that usually hosts free exhibitions which is nice to check out after an afternoon of lounging on the grass area at Roppongi Midtown.

The museum is a collaboration between an architect and a fashion designer. Tadao Ando expertise strikes you so beautifully that you completely get dissolved in whole ambience of this building. A small angular structure welcomes you into the museum and then main exhibition halls are located in basement. A wonderfully placed courtyard brings ample light into the basement and keeps the basement alive. The exhibition at display was worth the visit ss well.

Small art museum with exceptional art works! Love the exhibition that I visited, the music installation was so cool, very inspiring. If you’re a fan of cool and modern art installations, I definitely recommend coming here. Just the architecture itself is so worth to pay a visit as well!!

For those who are fans of design this is great. Also surrounding area is nice to stroll around

(Translated by Google) 21_21 design site designed by Tadao Ando Anytime is good! (Original) 안도타다오가 설계한 21_21디자인 사이트 언제와도 좋다!

(Translated by Google) The unique exhibition is attractive every time ❗✨😃 (Original) 毎回ユニークな展示が魅力的です❗✨😃

A tiny but elegant place designed by Ando. Its sharp shape makes it so eyes-catching, but grey tone concrete surface looks so calm in the place, blending as a balance feel in one’s sight, wordless!

Fantastic gallery. When you was here the audio architecture exhibition was on show and it blew my mind. Fantastically well put together and not too busy also. The building itself is worth a visit too, especially after seeing other architecture by Tadao Ando before in Naoshima. There was also a second smaller exhibition and the shop had some tasteful merchandise too. Great place and a must visit if you’re in Tokyo.

It’s a nice exhibition that reveals how Parisian wrapped Arc de Triomphe for creating energy for the city. However, there was not many things that could be look, a bit pity. The museum (architecture) is excellent for sure, I definitely love it and quite recommend to someone who fancy at design of architecture.

A very unique architecture showcases some well curated exhibition - Wrapped Project by Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

I really enjoyed the building itself; however, the actual exhibit - the wrapping of arc de triomphe was terrible. It’s merely a very rough collection of videos telling you how they did it and it was difficult, but it never even talked about the why or the story behind the reason or thought process to wrap it. It was disappointingly mindless. On top of that, the videos were cut by amateurs that have no experience in storytelling and showed a bunch of bland scenes that could have easily been sped up. IE, we don’t need 2 minutes of people standing around and preparing to do something in a 5 minute video. Definitely do both recommend this show.

Another masterpiece by famous architect Tadao Ando. The museum design is awesome! Also, the park surrounding the museum is full of Sakura trees. Definitely recommend to visit!

I recommend to general person and art, architecture lover🤍 This is very artistic museum of Tokyo mid town. Japanese architect Tadao Ando’s architecture. And these days open very interesting exhibitions in there. The title is “The original” until this year 25th Jun <3 + Mid town is art & culture area. And nearby tasty desserts restaurants “Harbs” 🍰you can check review on my other contributes :)

The centre was not large but the exhibits were well curated. The current was displayed original furniture designs and the further developments. Interesting to see the origins of commonly seen furniture pieces and lifestyle objects. In addition, the facikity was sited in the middle of a beautiful garden. Can acces through the back of Tokyo Midtown Shopping Centre and cutting through the beautiful little park. Much better walk than walking along the roads as recommended by Google Map. Also I noticed two different pairs of parents brought their little kids. Both kids were crying loudly, to their embarassment. The inside of the centre is built mainly with cement and is somewhat dark. Might look frightening to kids and they won't understand the exhibits.

Cool spot. Love the architecture and design, but the exhibition was a lot smaller than expected. Spent just an hour or so here. Bought the tickets physically and there was no wait.

I have been visiting 21_21 Design Sight since its opening and I'm always in awe of the beautiful exhibitions that take place throughout the building. The design by architect Tadao Ando and fashion designer Issey Miyake is breathtaking and brilliant. Today's exhibition featuring The Original is a wonderful way to look at all of the great designs from around the world that are universal and timeless. I must see if you are visiting Tokyo! GH

This building truly showcases Tadao Ando's iconic design elements. The exhibition, titled "The Original," was great. It was nice to see many familiar furniture pieces and light fixtures.

we greatly enjoyed our visit here. the current is exhibit is about materials, and there was a special exhibition by tokujin yoshioka which we enjoyed very much. the tadao ando designed building was also beautiful. it's a small museum so you can finish going around in 1-2 hours. this is a must-visit for people interested in design.

Building as it self is a great piece of art. You can clearly see everywhere this extraordinary attention to detail. Worth to spend some time in different times of day as well season.

This is my second visit to the museum. I love the size of it, and the intense focus on design topics. This is a real treasure in Tokyo.

Not your usual art museum. It has a well curated thematic exhibits inside a Tadao Ando designed museum. If you like art in all its forms, you should come and visit.

nice space, nice exhibition

Simple art gallery that takes the area into consideration. The gallery and designs change with the seasons

Really enjoyed seeing the sketching process of designers in the “Secret source of inspiration” exhibition. Inspirations come from old trials, collected notes, everyday creativity. Wish I could have spent more time there. And bought some souvenirs, too.

(Translated by Google) A crisp building. It is designed to be deployed underground, and it is wide when you enter inside. The museum shop also "designs" Morisawa font goods. (Original) シュッとした建物。地下に展開していく作りになっていて、中に入ると広いです。ミュージアムショップもモリサワフォントグッズとか、「デザイン」してます。

(Translated by Google) The building has a beautiful design with a large, clean folded roof, but it seems that there were twists and turns until this design settled down. I think the building with the corridor of the first design was also good, but it seems that it was rejected. It was a little strange when I thought that the architect was also going back and forth I learned about it at the first event here. (Original) すっきりした大きな折れ屋根のデザインが美しい建物ですが、このデザインに落ち着くまでは紆余曲折があったようです。 最初のデザインのコリドーがある建物も良かったと思いますが不採用になったみたいです。 建築家も右往左往してるんだなと思ったらちょっとおかしかった それはここの最初のイベントで知りました。

(Translated by Google) There are various discoveries. (Original) 色々な発見があります。

Fun small museum, as for the exhibitions, maybe a bit on the more abstract/loose side for me in terms of thematicness, but it's in a fun area and nice park. And the exhibitions are quite creative in subject matter.

(Translated by Google) By the way, you can take a break in Midtown and there is a lot of greenery around it, so I think it's a good place to take a break. (Original) ついでにミッドタウンをふらっとできるのと、周辺に緑がたくさんあるので、ほっと一息つくのにいいと思います。

(Translated by Google) You can see it in a short time. I don't know if it's only this time, but there is also an area where you can see it for free.

I don't know the relationship, but there is a cool architecture behind this museum.
