This series explores topics surrounding women who began their careers in Japan following the implementation of equal opportunities employment legislation in the mid-1980s. With many now reaching the age of retirement, it is hoped their stories can provide insight and lessons for women in Japan¡¯s professional world today.
The Mori Art Museum, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year, has never been your grandfather¡¯s contemporary art museum. Not only is it internationally recognized for its generous coverage of a wide range of contemporary art, but a visit to the museum is also an experience in and of itself.
First, you can¡¯t simply stroll into the museum directly from the street. You must be elevated to the 52nd floor of the futuristic Roppongi Hills Mori Tower complex. Your ascent entails a ride up a dedicated escalator feeding straight into the museum, much like a sacred promenade rising up to a shrine.
