21_21 DESIGN SIGHT

4.5

Located in Tokyo Midtown, a multi-purpose complex directly connected to Roppongi Station, this museum holds exhibitions about design. Unlike traditional museums it was created to “think about daily articles from a design perspective, create objects and propose new ideas.” It is mainly host to organized exhibitions but also features talks and other events. The architecture of the building was designed by Tadao Ando and makes for a very unique exterior, such as with its roof made of one folded iron plate.

If you love architecture or design, (or both!) then a visit to the 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT is a must. The building by Tadao Ando is stunning. The sight itself houses excellent design related exhibitions...
Beautiful space

I was just walking, looking for a place to sit down and rest, but the garden has so many beautiful spots, I spent very peaceful few hours there and took lots of photos .
