The Noguchi Museum

The Noguchi Museum
Business Information
The Noguchi Museum was founded and designed by internationally-renowned American artist Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988), for the display of what he considered to be representative examples of his life’s work. Opened in 1985, the Museum complex was built around a 1920s industrial building, and features indoor-outdoor galleries and a serene outdoor sculpture garden, with two floors of interior exhibition space. Located in the vibrant neighborhood of Long Island City, Queens, the Museum is itself considered to be one of the artist’s greatest achievements. In building a museum, Noguchi was an early pioneer who led the metamorphosis of the Long Island City area into the arts district it is today, home to cultural institutions such as Socrates Sculpture Park, SculptureCenter, MoMA PS1, and Museum of the Moving Image, among others.
More Information

As a whole, the Museum provides an intimate, reflective space in which to experience Noguchi’s sculpture and design, fulfilling a vision that the artist deemed essential to his life’s work. Visitors enter the approximately 27,000-square-foot Museum through the open-air sculpture garden. The ground-floor galleries and garden contain a permanent presentation of work curated and installed by the artist, selected from his own collection. Today, the Museum regularly presents temporary exhibitions in dialogue with these permanent installations, offering a rich, contextualized view of Noguchi’s work and his enduring influence on contemporary culture.
