A special thank‑you goes to Apenberry’s Gardens for donating the beautiful floral arrangements inspired by ikebana, the Japanese art of flower composition. More than decoration, ikebana is a centuries‑old practice centered on harmony, attentiveness, and thoughtful balance, values that echo throughout Noguchi’s work. These arrangements provided a serene and intentional atmosphere for the opening events and are on display in the Education Room for visitors to enjoy throughout the exhibition.
