About us
Founded in 1985 by Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988), The Noguchi Museum was the first museum in America to be established, designed, and installed by a living artist to show their own work. Located at the intersection of the thriving Astoria and Long Island City neighborhoods in Queens, New York, the Museum features both open air and indoor galleries in a repurposed 1920s industrial building, and an internationally renowned outdoor sculpture garden. In addition to maintaining Isamu Noguchi’s archive and catalogue raisonné, the Museum exhibits a comprehensive selection of sculpture, models for public projects and gardens, dance sets, and his Akari light sculptures. Provocative installations drawn from the permanent collection, together with special exhibitions related to Noguchi and the milieu in which he worked, offer a contextualized view of Noguchi’s art and illuminate his enduring influence. The Museum coordinates loans and exhibitions of Noguchi’s works worldwide; distributes his Akari light sculptures and other designs; and collaborates with a diversity of contemporary practitioners, from visual artists, to designers, to musicians, dancers, poets, and more, to develop programming. The Noguchi Museum is located at 9-01 33rd Road (at Vernon Boulevard), Long Island City, New York. It is open Wednesdays through Sundays, 11 am–6 pm. Plan your visit at noguchi.org/visit.

On view August 28, 2024–September 14, 2025, 'Against Time: The Noguchi Museum 40th Anniversary Reinstallation' features a selection of Isamu Noguchi’s sculptures, project models, drawings, and dance sets. Coinciding with the Museum’s 40th anniversary in 2025, the exhibition returns over sixty works from the permanent collection to the second floor. Taking inspiration from Isamu Noguchi’s own arrangements and intentions for these spaces in the earliest years of the Museum (1985–88), the exhibition reveals Noguchi’s lifelong interest in themes such as transformation, mortality, weightlessness, and humanity’s coexistence with nature; and explores how his many unrealized environmental projects were a well of ideas that he refined and adapted within later realized projects. 'Against Time' is curated by Matthew Kirsch, Museum Curator and Director of Research. __ Image: Isamu Noguchi giving a tour of the Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum in 1988. Photo: Eugenie Coumantaros.

Read now on Hyperallergic: “The story you may not see in the galleries is how Takaezu’s legacy continues to take shape through the stories and artwork of her apprentices, many of whom are practicing artists and educators today. Hyperallergic interviewed 10 of the 40 apprentices she trained over four decades, along with studio assistants, friends, and colleagues to gain an intimate perspective on the artist and her lasting influence on the field.” (Kealey Boyd) https://lnkd.in/ebSj8Pgg
