About this event
Isamu Noguchi's own museum — raw concrete galleries wrapped around a sculpture garden of stone, bamboo and shade — opens free on the first Friday of every month, with summer hours running to 8 pm. This edition adds drop-in chess with Pawn Chess Club among the sculptures, Spanish-language art-making with Arte en el Noguchi, and a closing party with DJ collective Discolocas from 4 pm.
Why we picked it
Free entry to the most serene museum in Queens, plus chess in the galleries and a DJ party — and no booking to worry about.
