2 June – 5 September 2021

Memorials to the Atomic Dead opens at The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum on 2 June 2021. The installation is occasioned by the return of Isamu Noguchi’s unrealized model for a cenotaph memorial, originally proposed in 1952 for Hiroshima Peace Park and re-envisioned in the 1980s, to Area 6 of the Museum. Companion displays in Area 5 and Area 3 survey Noguchi’s proposals and sculptures exploring the consequences of the use of atomic weapons against humanity in Hiroshima and beyond.
