The Noguchi Museum

Perhaps it's because I visited when some of the collection was being used at the BK Botanical Garden so the museum seemed to be on the "smaller" side in terms of what there was to see. Coupled with the inconvenient location, I found it a bit disappointing but I did appreciate the guided tour that allowed visitors to learn more about Noguchi and some of his other famous works around the world and what to look out for locally in NYC such as the Red Cube.

A gem of a museum and collection. A place to meditate on art. Really excellent concert series in the summer.

Inspiring work in a wonderful space. With coffee and snacks

Spacious museum, good for really taking in the scultpures from all angles. I like the more "raw" area with stone flooring rather than the traditional, sometimes stuffier, creaky wood floored section. It might depend on timing, but the outdoor area feels like a good quiet place to relax.

If you're jonesing for a zen fix, this is the place. And it's a great destination for New Yorkers looking for something new and different to do. Yes, it's a bit harder to get to, but take that as part of the fun. Make the visit an adventure and work in some other sites in the area like Astor Bake Shop for lunch and the Socrates Sculpture Park. There's lots of incredible graffiti art around the area as well. It's a well maintained museum for sure and Noguchi's art is really awe-inspiring. We've all seen countless marble statues of people, so it can't hurt to just see a big round, rock thing sometimes. There's also a tranquil rock garden to sit in and contemplate where the universe came from.
