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

The Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum is an art museum and sculpture garden within a former studio complex. The site displays around 150 works in granite and basalt, some completed and others unfinished, arranged throughout the grounds and landscaped areas.

An American-Japanese artist arrived in Mure village in 1969 and established his studio there. He worked closely with local stonemason Masatoshi Izumi over subsequent decades, creating works that remained at the location.

The museum honors an American-Japanese sculptor whose creative vision shaped the site. It preserves traditional Japanese gardens and historic structures that reveal how the artist brought together local craftsmanship with his artistic practice.

Visitors must book guided tours in advance to see the site. Tours are offered on specific days of the week and provide the best way to experience the works and grounds.

A striking black granite sculpture dominates the central area of the museum with its commanding height. This artwork was created from Swedish stone and serves as a focal point of the overall artistic design.
