About The Noguchi Museum’s Education Department
The Noguchi Museum’s Education Department prioritizes a co-creation model of programming that supports visitors of all ages, identities, and abilities as they establish personally meaningful connections with the art and legacy of Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988). The Noguchi Museum was founded in 1985, and was the first museum in the United States to be established, designed, and installed by a living artist to show their own work. Located in Long Island City, Queens, the Museum itself is widely viewed as among the artist’s greatest achievements. For more information on their education programs please visit their website.
