January at the Noguchi

Astoria neighbors: we recently received the Noguchi’s monthly newsletter and wanted to share some updates with you. Firstly, these are the final days to see Against Time, The Noguchi Museum’s 40th Anniversary reinstallation, which is closing January 11. This work was inspired by Isamu Noguchi’s original gallery layouts from the late 1980s which explores transformation, mortality, weightlessness, and our relationship with nature. If you haven’t seen it yet, we hope you can make it down there to experience the exhibition.

Update on Museum hours:
Wednesday–Sunday, 10 am–5 pm (winter hours)
Closed January 1
Half-price admission January 15–February 1 while second-floor installations are underway

Opening Soon
Noguchi’s New York opens February 4, 2026, exploring Noguchi’s deep connection to NYC through sculpture, models, photographs, and archival materials.
