Art Tower Mito is an arts complex in Mito, Ibaraki, Japan. It opened in 1990 as part of the centennial celebrations of the municipality of Mito. There is a concert hall that seats 680, a theater for up to 636, a contemporary art gallery, and a landmark tower, which rises 100 meters. Arata Isozaki was the architect, with acoustical design by Nagata Acoustics. The design is based on the Boerdijk–Coxeter helix.
