EDITOR’S PICK HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE COLLECTION: NOGUCHI ARCHAIC/NOGUCHI MODERN MARCH 5- AUGUST 31 The Noguchi Museum has an exhibition on view of Noguchi’s work from archaic times to modern times. The only thing Noguchi loved more than the promise of the future was the sense of belonging to the Earth he derived from working with million and billion year old pieces of rock. Noguchi Archaic/ Noguchi Modern explores a stylistic wormhole that seems to link the ancient past and the distant future in his work. Families with children of all ages are welcome! Admission is FREE! The King Manor Museum is located at 150-3 Jamaica Avenue. SATURDAY, APRIL 26 Summer is the time for kids to get up, get out and grow.
