A museum shop with more to browse
Souvenir from Tokyo is inside the National Art Center in Roppongi. Its first-floor and basement shops stock more than standard museum keepsakes: you can browse accessories, clothes, pottery, glassware, stationery, daily-use objects, books and toys. The selection includes work by Japanese designers such as Mina Perhonen and Anrealage.
You do not need to pay the museum’s admission fee to enter the shop. The two shop floors are worth checking separately, as the basement has its own selection as well as the gallery.
The basement gallery and cafeteria
The basement includes a gallery for solo exhibitions. Work on display can be available to buy, and photography is allowed in the exhibition area; this differs from the shop, where photography is prohibited.
A cafeteria sits at the back of the shop, serving hot coffee and meals. There is also a small seating area. Visit on a weekday if you would prefer a quieter browse, as the shop can get busy at weekends.
