Art Tower Mito (ATM), symbolized by the 100-meter-tall metal tower that stands in its plaza, is a comprehensive cultural facility divided into three sections: a concert hall, a theater, and a gallery for contemporary art. Having opened in 1990 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mito's designation as an official city, the ATM complex has served as the venue for a wide variety of planned events, including musical concerts, dramatic productions, and art exhibitions featuring both Japanese and foreign artists. In addition, it has broadened the scope of its mission to act as a base for locally-produced cultural activities. In the future, ATM will continue to be a locus of creative activities, transmitting artistic culture from Mito to the rest of the world.

Reviewed By olafoomes - Amstelveen, The Netherlands
A highly interesting museum which gives you a great overview on artefacts from the Tokugawa family. This family ruled Japan for over two and a half centuries and possessed many great objects of art of which many are displaced in this small museum. It's just a great pity that there is no English indication/translation whatsoever so it would be wise to inform yourself on the Tokugawa Shoguns before coming to this very worthwhile museum.
