The Noguchi Museum

Founded in 1985 by Isamu Noguchi (1904–88), one of the leading sculptors and designers of the twentieth century, The Noguchi Museum was the first museum in America to be established, designed, and installed by a living artist to show their own work. Widely viewed as among Noguchi’s greatest achievements, the Museum comprises ten indoor galleries in a converted factory building, as well as an internationally acclaimed outdoor sculpture garden. Highlighting Noguchi’s role as a multicultural, cross-disciplinary innovator, the Museum presents exhibitions and public programs drawing on Noguchi’s artworks and archive, and engages in collaborations with contemporary artists, designers, musicians, dancers, and more.
