Art | Discover the Unique Japanese Sculpture Art of Noguchi
Are you tired of the usual aesthetics of The MET (Metropolitan Museum of Art) and MoMA (Museum of Modern Art)? Then you might want to explore the lesser-known Noguchi Museum in Queens. šæ Background: Unlike The MET and MoMA, the Noguchi Museum was founded in 1985 by the Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi, who had a cross-cultural background. The museum aims to display and preserve his artworks. It mainly exhibits Japanese-style sculptures, and the museum itself is also a sight to behold. The combination of outdoor and indoor spaces, along with the Japanese garden, creates a minimalist, elegant, and tranquil atmosphere that allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. š· Photo Tips: In addition to the garden and exhibits, the gift shop is also worth a visit. š Operating Hours: The museum is open from 11 am to 6 pm, Wednesday to Sunday. š« Official Website Price: $16.00 Free Tickets: On the first Friday of every month (Free First Friday), you can visit for free. You need to book tickets on the official website two weeks in advance, starting at 12:00 PM (Eastern Time). ā ļø Special Note: There are art description booklets in each area, usually located in the transparent boxes on the walls next to the glass doors as you enter the next exhibition area. You need to return the booklet before moving on to the next area. #NoguchiMuseum #NYCArt #NYCWeekend #NewYork #IsamuNoguchi
