Museums & Galleries
The Noguchi Museum was founded by the internationally renowned Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi to display his life’s work. Opened in 1985, the Museum was dedicated to illuminating the artist’s vision, his experience with sculpture and public spaces, and the legacy of his work on later artists. In order to reach the broadest possible public, The Noguchi Museum offers programs that engage children as well as adults; they provide sign-language interpreters and “touch tours” for the blind and partially sighted.
