The Noguchi Museum

Hidden gem in Astoria. I took advantage of the free tix that can be claimed 2 weeks before the first Friday of the month.

Be forewarned that this is an indoor and outdoor space so it is best experienced on warmer days unless you dress appropriately.

Myriad of sculptures that can be explained via the Bloomberg app. Each room is marked with a number so you know where you are. The special ceramics exhibit upstairs was pretty cool, but I loved the tranquility of the outdoor garden.

Pretty great museum, quite unique. Lots of different things to look at. Gift shop made me want to spend $1 million on lighting. Has a very beautiful rock garden area. Staff is extremely friendly. Restrooms very clean. Would return. Very peaceful.

Noguchi Museum is a must see destination that is hidden and nestled in Queens, New York. The museum is small in comparison to most museums, but there's a great amount of amazing sculptures and other artworks both in the interior and outdoor garden. The collection of art are very well placed and organized throughout the space, not expecting what you'll see next on the other side. Don't forget to enjoy the beautiful and tranquil garden outside.

There is an admissions fee, $12 , but they do provide discounts for students with their IDs and seniors. It's also free the first Friday of each month.

Ok guys this museum is in Queens and I really need input from anyone on this one because I just wasn't feeling it. It was pretty much all sculptures but I was having a hard time getting the artist feel from them. Has anyone been here? I'm so used to conventional art such as paintings that I had a very hard time with this one.

Really striking and beautiful museum! Noguchi's work is fascinating, and the space is designed in a way that best displays it. There's also this lovely garden / outdoor space, which will be such a nice place to relax and read a book. Highly recommend folks visit if they get a chance!

As a note to first time visitors, the entrance is unassuming and easy to miss. Just walk along the side of the building facing 33rd Road to find it.

Overall rating: 4.8

An absolute must visit for a unique visit in NYC. I've been wanting to visit here for awhile now but haven't gotten myself to go until now.

The garden itself is absolutely stunning & completely underrated. Not that many people know about it, so it's a great spot if you're just trying to get away from people. (Which is me 90% of the time)

I don't know much about sculptures and different types of marble, so I can't really speak highly of the exhibits. But I do think this is worth the visit for something different.

Very serene, calm, energy. And if you go with your friends, there are lots of places for good pictures

I had to book my ticket for this museum two weeks in advance. Admission included a tour. When I arrived, I had to wait for more visitors for it to start.

This was an interesting place. Most of the artworks were rocks and lanterns. The garden was peaceful and serene.

After I spent two hours there, I dropped by Costco for a quick bite. It was walking distance.

A beautiful and tranquil place to visit. There are about two floors and a lovely outdoor area. Come alone or with friends it is worth your time.

Mera's Tip: Visit

Cool art made with rocks and clays. Sculptures and amazing! $12 for admission. There's a beautiful colorful-tiled snake that we were allowed to touch and sit on. But architecture of some buildings were shown, and it is amazing.

A true gem in Long Island City. It is unique, tranquil, exciting and bold. It has spacious indoor exhibitions as well as outdoor features. This is where I take friends and visitors and they are always impressed. I enjoy just stopping by for a quiet moment of relaxation in the sculpture garden among the bamboo.

Come to Long Island City and visit the Noguchi - you will love it!
