last day

on our last day in tokyo, we decided to be a little bit more touristy and visited the (relatively) new contemporary arts museum at the roponggi hills.

the exhibition was by indian artists...


people watching the video installation...


the view from on top of the museum (which was on a tower)...


and a cool spider sculpture below...


domo arigato gozaimasu!
