tripadvisorWe all were mesmerized by the sheer power and vision of the place. It is a must see!Respect, gratitude, and a humbing experience. Best museum I have ever been to and I have been to dozens all over the world.
MoreIn the Noguchi Museum, you can think that Palestinian people deserve to live in dignity and safety in their homes and villages, but you cannot say it. You cannot show it, because it is a place that forbids wearing Palestinian scarves.
MoreMuseum and sculpture garden designed and created by Japanese American artist Isamu Noguchi originally opened in 1985 before his death in 1988. When it opened, it was the first such museum to be established by a living artist in America. Noguchi is famous for his sculptures many carved from stone and his public artworks but also is remembered for his influence on contemporary mid-century furniture including the Noguchi Coffee Table. A large collection of his works are on display at the museum. It wasn't busy when we stopped in making for a peaceful visit. The art is interesting, but I wish they had a much better Audio Guide. The Museum App made it hard to appreciate what is on display. I found the organization of the app confusing, and the information provided was quite tedious. $16 entry charge.
MoreOf all the museums in NYC, this one is by far the most valuable. (I am a member of the Met and MoMA, too. Isamu Noguchi's vision for the world is a much needed message for today.
MoreThe Noguchi Museum is a magical place. Outdoor sculpture garden, indoor exhibits leave one with a feeling of calm, and artistically satisfied. Walking around and through the exhibits, helps bring one up close to the artists works and emotional states.
