February at the Noguchi

This month at The Noguchi there are several new exhibitions and exciting events coming up that you can check out inside with your friends and family during these cold winter weeks, beginning with “Noguchi’s New York”.

Noguchi’s New York

This exciting exhibition, Noguchi’s New York, looks at Isamu Noguchi’s deep and dynamic relationship with New York City. Through sculptures, project models, photographs, and archival materials, the exhibition highlights the work he created in Queens, the networks he built, and his broader vision.

The Museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm, during winter hours through March. On Saturday, February 21, admission is free all day in honor of Day of Remembrance.
