Story

The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) champions contemporary makers across creative fields—presenting artists, designers, and artisans who apply the highest level of ingenuity and skill to their work.

Since the Museum’s founding in 1956 by philanthropist and visionary Aileen Osborn Webb, MAD has celebrated all facets of making and the creative processes by which materials are transformed, from traditional techniques to cutting-edge technologies.

Today, the Museum’s curatorial program builds upon a rich history of exhibitions that emphasize a cross-disciplinary approach to art and design, and reveals the workmanship behind the objects and environments that shape our everyday lives.

MAD provides an international platform for practitioners who are influencing the direction of cultural production and driving 21st-century innovation, fostering a participatory setting for visitors to have direct encounters with skilled making and compelling works of art and design.

If you've been to any design museums across the globe, this one is surprisingly disappointing. It's very small..only enough space for about 2 exhibitions... no permanent displays as far as I could see. Ironically the actual floor plan and design of the building sn't great.. only 2 very very slow elevators that you might as well push the button - view the displays and by then the elevator will be arriving(no guarantees) Glad I didn't pay ..

This is a great place to go and see the progress in fashion throughout the years, it's a small museum and you won't need much time to see everything.

It's a tiny museum. And I'd say, unless you are really into fashion, not worth visiting. Thursdays are "pay what you want" so, definitely go then.

It appears new but not spacious. There're not many exhibits on the floors. Photos are allowed but without flash. Elevators, stairs & restrooms are available. The time spent in here is less than an hour.

Fairly short museum, good for a 1 hour tour. Different exhibition in every floor. The artist studios are located on the top floor, make sure to check it out. Located couple of minutes walk from central park.
