Founded in 1985 by category-defying artist\u00a0Isamu Noguchi<\/a>\u00a0(1904\u20131988), The Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum (now known as The Noguchi Museum), was the first museum in the United States to be established, designed, and installed by a living artist to show their own work. Located in Long Island City, Queens, the Museum itself is widely viewed as among the artist\u2019s greatest achievements.<\/p>\n

Holding the world\u2019s largest collection of his works, it features open air and indoor galleries in a repurposed 1920s industrial building and a serene outdoor sculpture garden. Consistent with Noguchi\u2019s interest in art being experiential, works are often displayed without barriers or interpretation to encourage visitors to form personal and introspective connections.<\/p>\n

Accompanying the\u00a0permanent installations placed by Noguchi, the Museum presents temporary exhibitions exploring themes in Noguchi\u2019s work, his milieu and collaborators, and his enduring influence today among contemporary practitioners across disciplines. It exhibits a comprehensive selection of Noguchi\u2019s material culture, from sculpture, models, and drawings, to his personal possessions, and manages the artist\u2019s archives and catalogue raisonn\u00e9.\u00a0Through its rich collection, exhibitions, and programming, the Museum facilitates scholarship and learning for audiences of all ages and backgrounds.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
