Roppongi Hills is a development project in Tokyo and one of Japan's largest integrated property developments, located in the Roppongi district of Minato, Tokyo.
Constructed by building tycoon Minoru Mori, the mega-complex incorporates office space, apartments, shops, restaurants, cafes, movie theatres, a museum, a hotel, a major TV studio, an outdoor amphitheatre, and a few parks. The centrepiece of the complex is the 54-story Roppongi Hills Mori Tower. Mori's stated vision was to build an integrated development where high-rise inner-urban communities allow people to live, work, play, and shop in proximity to eliminate commuting time, and has a total floor area of 724,000 m2. The company argued that this would increase leisure time, quality of life, and benefit Japan's national competitiveness. Seventeen years after the design's initial conception, the complex opened to the public on April 25, 2003. The architecture and use of space is documented in the book Six Strata: Roppongi Hills Redefined.

The Mori Art Museum is a contemporary art museum founded by the real estate developer Minoru Mori. It is located in the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower in the Roppongi Hills complex, a commercial, cultural, and residential mega-complex in Tokyo, Japan. The museum's primary focus is large-scale international exhibitions of contemporary art, though it also has a permanent collection of art from Japan and the wider Asia Pacific region.
The museum was founded and developed based on Mori's belief that "culture shapes a city's identity," and as a result offers varied programming that works to cater to a wide-ranging and diverse audience, "from children to older adults, and from locals to international visitors." In 2015, the museum underwent major renovations, and simultaneously revised its mission statement in an effort to reflect the expansion and changing landscape of the 'Global art' scene in the previous decade. At the same time, the museum introduced several new program series to supplement the existing rotation of internationally contemporary-themed exhibitions: MAM Collection, MAM Screen, and MAM Research.
Since opening in 2003, the Mori Art Museum has held exhibitions featuring a number of internationally renowned artists from Japan and beyond, including Yayoi Kusama, Ai Weiwei, Bill Viola, Cao Fei, Anish Kapoor, and Jeff Koons. Today, MAM is one of Tokyo's most popular art museums, and in 2018 had brought in 13.5 million visitors from around the world.
L'ensemble a été conçu par les architectes des agences Conran & Partners, Nikken Housing System, et de l'agence américaine The Jerde Partnership, C'est l'un des très rares gratte-ciels japonais conçu en partie par un architecte occidental. Les trois bâtiments font partie du complexe Roppongi Hills qui comprend également la Roppongi Hills Mori Tower ainsi que d'autres bâtiments.
