Fodor's Review:

In 1985, The Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904-88) transformed this former photo-engraving plant into a place to display his modernist and earlier works. A peaceful central garden is surrounded by gallery buildings, providing room to show more than 250 pieces done in stone, metal, clay, and other materials. Temporary exhibits feature his collaborations with others, such as industrial designer Isamu Kenmochi. The museum is about a mile from subway stops; check the Web site for complete directions. On Sunday a shuttle bus leaves from the northwest corner of Park Avenue and 70th Street in Manhattan, hourly, beginning at 12:30; the round-trip costs $10.

  • Cost: $10; 1st Fri. of month, pay what you wish
  • Open: Wed.-Fri. 10-5, weekends 11-6
  • Subway: N, W to Broadway.
