SUMMARY:Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror at the Bruce Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Bruce Museum in Greenwich will present Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror from April 2 through November 16\, 2025. This exhibition explores the work of renowned Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi\, highlighting a series of galvanized steel sculptures created in the early 1980s in collaboration with Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles.

His reflective steel surfaces invite viewers into an immersive experience where body\, material\, and environment converge. \nThe Bruce Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. Admission is $20 for adults\, $15 for seniors (62+) and students\, and free for children under 5 and museum members. Discounted and reciprocal admission must be redeemed in person.
