The Noguchi Museum reviews
18Noguchi did it again. Both the collection and the space were amazing. I found it very helpful that I’ve learned a bit about the man before visiting.
The staff is very professional and friendly. This is a quiet museum that I had kept missing when I lived in the neighborhood. Should have visited sooner. With the Bloomberg Connect app, you can read the guide on your own device in your own pace. I can see the simplicity in the art influenced by Japanese culture. Also loved the garden. Suggest go in the late evening so that you can enjoy day/night view of them.
A marvelous concentration of gorgeous art. If you love Japanese culture, abstract-leaning sculptures like those of Brancusi, modern dance and opera settings, stone, wood, metal, and the mysteries of nature and our place in it, you'll love this museum. Noguchi's inspiration and craft are mind-opening and life-affirming.
Amazing museum of Isamo Noguchi's work. This is his old studio. Difficult to get there, far from the subway (we used Uber to and from the station), but well worth it! Amazing sculptures in a great setting, with a garden display as well as an large indoors display.
Had a wonderful time here! The sculptures are amazing! It is such a lovely art museum. We were helped by friendly staff members, Divine, Traisoria & Orlando. They are keepers!
Every time I visit, there are different exhibits. I guess I'm trying to say that it isn't all Noguchi all the time. It's a little neighborhood gem. You should visit.
Very lovely and unique space. Website offers a really great and interesting biography. Museum itself points out names and materials of artwork, which is nice.
Beautiful museum! Love the sculptures! The visitors were quiet so it was an enjoyable experience for all visitors to view the exhibit in a quiet space! The garden was beautiful and tranquil! I enjoyed sitting out there and listening to the birds and even saw a squirrel! The gift shop was a visual treat too! The shop was filled with really cool things to purchase! Had a wonderful visit here. Would definitely love to visit again!
Visited with my boyfriend on a cloudy, slightly drizzly day. Upon entering, we were requested to wear face masks but did not carry any with us. Luckily, the staff were able to provide us with a couple.
The artwork is curated pretty well. I found a few pieces to be most intriguing and great for analyzing in greater detail. Things that stood out to me were the use of lighting over each piece, the colors and textures achieved, as well as the positioning of each work in their respective areas. We enjoyed walking through the building, eventually winding up at the outdoor space where the beautiful greenery meets some of the artwork.
Installations are changed periodically. It is best to check online or call for further details if you wanted to plan a visit for a specific one.
Beautifully curated museum, gorgeous garden, lovely Noguchi novelty pieces. Every year I’m excited to see what new installations have been added to the space.
This is such a beautiful space with open space and an impressive focus on lighting. Feels like a retreat from the busy city. The collection is impressive. The person at the door was so kind in telling us to make another visit in the spring when their cherry blossoms bloom in the garden. Lovely to feel the pride of the folks that work there.
Super pretty sculptures. But also kind of smaller than expected. You have to go outside to get to the second floor and also to the other sections. So dont go if its cold and/or raining! The outside part is part of the experience.
Go during the free days for sure. Good for if u want a quick date lol. But also theres not much to do around that area except go to Costco.and this sculpture park near that but that took me like 10 min to walk through.
Also! Not many places to sit down too. Except the benches outside and the small stool (s) upstairs that Im pretty sure is more for staff not visitors. So definitely dont go if u get tired easily and its cold out.
Side note: I still had to wear face masks. They have extra at the front but they call you out if they see u without one at anytime.
Interesting museum if you want to go to a museum for not too much money.its short and something to different to look at.it took a hour to finish, but the gift shop was the highlight.
Breathtaking open air and covered museum. Really makes you stop and think. Book with student ID for lower cost and hope they dont check:)
Great museum with sculptures of the Japanese-American artist Noguchi and a wonderful Japanese garden - also adorned with his works.
It might not be everyone's taste, but if you like this kind of sobriety, it is definitely worth the detour.
If you get a chance visit this museum. It is a worth venturing out to queens. Massive collection consisting of two floors. The garden is a nice place relax and enjoy noguchi’s work. I would recommend doing Noguchi and ps 1 moma together since they are near by!
Loved the unique experience of the dichotomous indoor/outdoor museum! Its surprisingly a large space with each floor focusing on diff eras of his artz
If you are into modern arts. Then you are going to like this place. That's all I can tell you. Besides that it was a very fun.
