Art Tower Mito

Highlight

The Art Tower Mito is a multi-purpose cultural facility that opened to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mito City’s establishment.

The tower, designed like an equilateral triangle and reaching 100 meters in height, has become the emblem of Art Tower Mito to commemorate the city’s 100th anniversary.

The facility was designed by architect Arata Isozaki, a prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize winner, often regarded as the Nobel Prize of architecture.

Inside the facility, there are dedicated spaces for music, theater, and art, including the ATM Concert Hall, the ACM Theater, and a contemporary art gallery. Each day, a variety of events are held in these three areas, offering a diverse cultural experience.
