Museum of Arts and Design

Columbus Circle

Small but spirited, MAD puts contemporary craft center stage and lets you peek behind the curtain. Wander through ceramics, jewelry, and fiber art, then watch resident artists at work in the sixth-floor studios. It's the rare museum where creation happens in real time.

Skip the museum overwhelm. MAD keeps things intimate and hands-on, with craft-forward exhibitions where you might spot an artist at work or try your hand at making something yourself. Current standout: Saya Woolfalk's kaleidoscopic sci-fi world exploring plant-human hybrids through sculpture, video, and imaginary ethnography.
