Our trip to the Noguchi Museum was overall a very memorable experience. At first, I did not think much of the museum due to its scale and subtle appearance. Through careful examination and deeper understanding, I learned that it was all apart of Noguchi’s intentions. I learned that everything in the museum, including the architecture itself, was meant to be subtle but becomes more meaningful and complex with deeper understanding. This is a component of the experience which I found to be very Japanese. Furthermore, I learned that there is never the same two ways to experience the museum. The use of natural lighting, plants, and oxidating sculptures make the museum something that is easily altered by the time of the day and the season of the year. Additionally, the element of surprise is something very palpable in terms of the garden’s interior design. An example would be a hidden room which I found while wandering alone, which I doubt many people actually discovered. Another example would be the sculptures that were placed on the floor of the museum. In my opinion, the purposeful arrangement of the space is meant to remind us that we can never be too careful when examining what’s inside of it. Lastly, this experience taught what it means to create a negative space and how powerful that can be when interacting with certain subjects.
