■ NEW TICKETING SYSTEM

To guard against the spread of COVID-19 we are working to reduce face-to-faceinteractions and implement contactless systems, while also making visits to the Museum
more convenient by selling tickets online via a dedicated website, installing ticket
machines, and introducing smooth, direct admission using QR code verification. We arecommitted to providing an environment that enables visitors to view our exhibitions
more safely and comfortably.
In addition to this, in conjunction with “HILLS ID” and the "HILLS APP” provided
by the Hills Network, we look forward to offering a highly-satisfying experience andservices tailored to meet the needs of individual users. Visitors can now use the app topurchase tickets and enter the museum by presenting a QR code, and in the processaccumulate Hills Points. The HILLS APP enables users to access a wide range of services,not only at the Mori Art Museum but also at the many “Hills” facilities operated and/or
managed by Mori Building, including Roppongi Hills.
* For details of HILLS ID and the HILLS APP, please see the website.

In a departure from the system that has been in place since the Museum’s opening, in which the cost of Museum
admission also included entry to the Tokyo City View observation deck, we will now be switching to a system
offering entry to the Museum alone. We will also be introducing new admission pricing for Saturdays, Sundays
and holidays and new reduced prices for tickets purchased online via the dedicated website. By thus reducing
congestion, we hope to offer a more comfortable, higher-quality viewing experience.
