About

The Noguchi Museum is a museum and sculpture garden founded by artist Isamu Noguchi in 1985, housed in a repurposed 1920s industrial building with indoor galleries and a celebrated outdoor courtyard. It showcases the largest collection of Noguchi’s sculptures, designs, and models in a serene setting one block from Socrates Sculpture Park on the Astoria/Long Island City waterfront. The institution anchors a cluster of cultural destinations in Queens and remains a tranquil, design-forward experience.
