Founded in 1985 by Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988), one of the leading sculptors and designers of the twentieth century, The Noguchi Museum was the first museum in America to be founded, designed, and installed by a living artist to show their own work. Widely viewed as among the artist’s greatest achievements, the Museum features an indoor/outdoor sculpture garden and two floors of exhibition space in a converted factory building. Since its founding, it has served as an international hub for Noguchi research and appreciation. In addition to housing the artist’s archives and the catalogue raisonné of his work, the Museum exhibits a comprehensive selection of sculpture, models for public projects and gardens, dance sets, and his Akari lanterns. Provocative, frequently-changing installations drawn from the permanent collection, together with diverse special exhibitions, offer a rich, contextualized view of Noguchi’s art and illuminate his enduring influence as a category-defying, multicultural, cross-disciplinary innovator.Make Noguchi Museum part of your personalized Queens itinerary using our Queens road trip planner .

The Noguchi Museum is an oasis. Not easy to get to, a rather unpleasant walk from the train station, and then- a world of beauty and peace. From a good cup of coffee in the cafe, to sitting in the gar... more »

Truly a beautiful museum that celebrates the life of a wonderful Japanese-American artist, Isamu Noguchi. The beautiful sculptures as well as the small garden makes this little museum feel tranquil in the bustling area around it. The live music was incredible as well!

A hidden museum isolated from the outside world. Going inside led to a total different atmosphere of zen and tranquility. I enjoyed walking though the rock garden and seeing the unique sculptures. The museum also offers free tours explaining the history of the artist and the artworks.
