What To Do In Queens
Are you planning a trip to New York City? Chances are you won't have any trouble coming up with a list of things to do in Manhattan.
Unfortunately, visitors have more trouble finding things to do in Queens.
Queens is the most eastern borough of the five boroughs of New York City.
It's also the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world.
Here's my list of top picks for Queens, New York.
Noguchi Museum The Noguchi Museum opened its doors in 1985 to preserve and display the works of Isamu Noguchi, a Japanese American artist and sculptor.
Isamu Noguchi had garnered a lot of publicity and fame throughout his hometown, New York City, via his public sculptures.
He also worked with the Herman Miller company to produce the most influential modern furniture collection.
The Noguchi Museum is a two-story building near Isamu Noguchi's home studio.
Inside the museum are 12 galleries filled with his work.
The galleries are modern and spacious.
The museum also includes a sculpture garden.
The layout makes for a clean ambience.
The Noguchi Museum is highly recommended for everyone, even if you're not a fan of modern art.
