Closing Bell: $2.4 Million Secured for Noguchi Museum Renovations

Borough President Helen Marshall has secured nearly $2.4 million for the renovation of the Noguchi Museum, a project expected to start next year and wrap in 2015 to coincide with the sculpture museum’s 30th anniversary. The Queens Gazette reports that the renovation includes rebuilding the garden wall, a new irrigation system and security lighting in the garden, and improvements to the building to protect it against future storms. As Marshall says, “The Noguchi Museum is a cultural treasure that pays tribute to the life and legacy of an artist whose work continues to have a major impact today. The upcoming renovation will help to preserve this unique setting for future generations.”
