I've been wanting to visit the Noguchi Museum for many years, but it has always been making the trip that kept me from going there. I even lived in Queens for almost 10 years - and believe me, Queens has a shortage of world-class museums - but still I never managed to make the trip. Well, finally on Valentine's Day... More

A sculptor friend in England recommended this museum. We went on a very rainy Sunday but the shuttle bus from the Asia Society on Manhattan’s Upper East Side made it very easy to get to and return. It is in his old studio building. The lower floor and garden shows Noguchi's work from all periods of his life while the... More

I have been trying to go for years and found it well worth it. Noguchi designed the museum, look at the 3rd floor and look at the skylights. The video is well worth your time to understand him and his accomplishments. Most of the museum is his large stone pieces which are fascinating to look at Definitely modern. But well... More

Amazing space. A little far from the train on a cold day, but what are you gonna do? Love the outdoor section, and the space is really interesting. And, of course the sculpture!

This museum had been on my list for quite a while, and so after a wedding in LI City, the hotel was only a half hour walk to the museum. The film on Noguchi's life gives context to the many sculptures. In cold weather, some of the outdoor ones are covered to prevent damage from freezing, but there are so... More

Of course there are endless museums in New York City worth checking out, but if there's one not to miss, this could be it. Noguchi's space is exactly what he envisioned. A place where he could gather together works of art which he performed in different parts of the world like Japan, Italy, New York, etc... What blows me away... More

The Noguchi Museum is built in the same space the artist used as his NY studio for many years. We were amazed at the variety of his work, which is mostly in stone. The pieces vary from rough hewn stone still showing quarry marks to intricately joined multi colored marble sculpture. Noguchi was a world traveler and had stone that... More

I loved this museum. I knew nothing about Noguchi before visiting. I was so moved by the stone creations of this artist, melding nature and art. Beyond the art, the museum itself is a work of art. A calm and peaceful place to enjoy. The skillful use of the various spaces in this old warehouse was wonderful. And the balance... More

This hidden gem of a museum has been converted from the former Long Island City NY studio of the sculptor Isamu Noguchi. It is an island of calm and beauty within an urban environment. The entire museum is surrounded by walls, which partly enclose buildings, a tranquil large zen-like garden, the museum collections, shop, and cafe. Isamu Noguchi is considered... More
