"The Museum Loan Network gave our city and our city employees an opportunity to participate in this exhibit for the city of Mobile. It reaffirmed again what we define as our strategic plan - to put arts at the center of what Mobile is, what Mobile should be - this was brought about because MLN gave us the opportunity to participate in this partnership."
Alfred Stokes, Executive Assistant to the Mayor, City of Mobile

When Joseph Schenk, Director of the Mobile Museum of Art, traveled to Long Island City’s Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum to discuss the possible loan of a Noguchi sculpture, he had no idea that months later he would be adding a new Japanese garden to the outside of his museum. The collaboration grew to include not only the Museum Loan Network, the Mobile Museum of Art, and the Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum, but also institutions and departments throughout the city of Mobile. The result was the unveiling in November 1996 of the marble Awakening, the bronze Bird’s Song, and the steel Rain Mountain, three Noguchi sculptures in a Japanese garden setting that revitalized the museum and city of Mobile.
