Por qué lo recomienda la gente del lugar
The minimalist museum in Long Island City was designed and opened in 1985 by Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi to house his own sculptures, designs, and drawings. It’s an industrial building turned gallery, and the interior garden has ivy-clad walls that set off Noguchi’s stone and metal sculptures. The effect is peaceful and serene. If you’re bringing kids, time your visit to catch one of their family programs, such as Art for Families and Art for Tots. Sundays, you can make art together with your kids.

After spending some time at Socrates Sculpture Park, hop across the street to one of Astoria's gems: the Noguchi Museum. The Noguchi Museum is filled with stone sculptures, but somehow manages to escape feeling cold and detached. You can instantly tell there is a deeply personal attachment between the artist and the space. At the Noguchi Museum you’ll find the lower level dedicated to Noguchi’s many works, curated by the artist himself. The upper level, however, includes temporary displays that pay homage to the design ideas and aesthetics he advanced. On one of our visits we found a beautiful display of hanging paper lanterns, as well as an oversized Akari light sculpture formed by stacking 2-foot by 2-foot pyramids. The entire museum creates an intimate portrait of the artist.

The museum and institute for Japanese minimalist sculptor Isamu Noguchi. Also has a wonderful outdoor area for chilling. Meditative, simple, wonderful.

This is a beautiful, peaceful museum. A good portion of it is outdoor so avoid going to this when it is raining. Use your student ID for a discount.

The Noguchi Museum provides an intimate, reflective space in which to experience Noguchi’s sculpture and design, fulfilling a vision that the artist deemed essential to his life’s work. Visitors enter the approximately 27,000-square-foot Museum through the open-air sculpture garden. The ground-floor galleries and garden contain a permanent presentation of work curated and installed by the artist, selected from his own collection.

Across the street from Noguchi's LIC studio, this gem of a museum hosts an amazing collection of his work. It's a very special place. The cafe/gift shop is excellent. On select Sundays there are hands-on family workshops.
