Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum, Biographical art museum in Mure, Takamatsu, Japan.

The museum displays 150 sculptures within a former studio complex, featuring both completed and unfinished works in granite and basalt materials.

Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi established his studio in Mure village during 1969, working with local stonecutter Masatoshi Izumi for two decades.

The museum includes an Edo Period storehouse with original tools, a Meiji Period warehouse for sculptures, and traditional Japanese gardens designed by Noguchi.

Visitors need advance reservations for guided tours, available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, with admission fees of 2,200 yen for adults.

The 3.6-meter-tall Energy Void sculpture, made from black Swedish granite, stands as a central element of the museum's architectural design.
