History and Mission Created by Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988), The Noguchi Museum opened in 1985, presenting a comprehensive collection of the artist's works in stone, metal, wood, and clay, as well as
models
for
public
projects
and
gardens,
dance
sets,
and
Akari
Light
Sculptures.
The
Museum--chartered
as
The
Noguchi
Museum--is
housed
in
thirteen
galleries
within
a
converted
factory
building
and
encircles
a
garden
containing
major
granite
and
basalt
sculptures.
After
a
two-and-a-half
year
long
renovation,
the
Museum
re-opened
in
June
2004
with
the
addition
of
an
education
center,
a
new
cafe
and
shop,
more
adequate
handicap
accessibility,
and
a
heating
and
cooling
system
that
allows
the
Museum
to
remain
open
year-round.
Besides
launching
its
first-ever
program
of
temporary
exhibitions,
the
Museum
has
created
a
special
gallery
devoted
to
Noguchi's
celebrated
work
in
interior
design.
Although
the
renovated
Museum
has
a
fresh
look,
great
care
has
been
taken
to
maintain
the
original
character
of
the
building,
which
was
integral
to
Noguchi's
vision
for
the
Museum.
The
raw
industrial
space
of
the
former
photo-engraving
plant
serves
as
a
superb
backdrop
for
the
artist's
sculpture.
The
Noguchi
Museum
offers
a
variety
of
education
and
public
programs
that
seek
to
introduce
the
work
and
vision
of
Isamu
Noguchi
to
diverse
audiences.
These
programs
encourage
the
investigation
of
Noguchi's
work
from
different
vantage
points,
and
support
participants
as
they
experience
the
artist's
work
from
their
own
perspectives.
In
addition
to
housing
and
exhibiting
a
collection
of
Noguchi's
works,
the
Museum
also
serves
the
international
art
community
by
loaning
works
to
other
institutions
for
special
exhibitions,
organizing
traveling
exhibitions,
and
offering
scholars
access
to
the
artist's
extensive
archives,
including
his
records,
correspondence,
manuscripts,
and
photographs.
The
Museum
also
collaborates
with
The
Isamu
Noguchi
Foundation
in
Japan.
The
Isamu
Noguchi
Foundation
and
Garden
Museum
is
supported,
in
part,
with
public
funds
from
the
National
Endowment
for
the
Arts,
the
New
York
State
Council
on
the
Arts,
and
the
City
of
New
York
Department
of
Cultural
Affairs.
The
Museum
gratefully
acknowledges
the
generosity
of
numerous
individual
donors,
