About This Deal

MAD

The Museum of Arts and Design is a fresh, creative alternative to New York City’s mainstream art museums. At MAD, visitors encounter artists transforming global craft traditions into compelling contemporary works of art and design. We are located right on Columbus Circle and just steps from Central Park and Times Square.
  • · Discover out of the ordinary, thought-provoking works of art and design, many of them made by hand.
  • · Learn how artists are expanding the materials and techniques for artmaking—using everything from clay and textiles to paper, glass, found objects, and more.
  • · Meet New York City artists working on site in MAD’s Artist Studios. View works in progress and gain firsthand insights into the creative process.
  • · Channel the inspiration found in our galleries into your own work of art!
  • · Shop The Store at MAD, one of the city’s most beloved museum shops generously stocked with one-of-kind gifts from independent makers, artist-made jewelry, and more.

What’s on at MAD:

  • The Haas Brothers: Uncanny Valley: Explore the exuberant, imaginative worlds of twin artists Nikolai and Simon Haas. The exhibition features 85 fantastical hybrid creatures, algorithmically generated landscapes, and meticulously hand-built ceramics.
  • Alice Riehl’s Porcelain Florilegium: Enter an installation of the artist’s fragile, luminous, and enduring porcelain wall murals inspired by botanical imagery through the ages.
  • Hai-Wen Lin: Described as “couture for the sky,” the artist’s textured textiles and sculptural kites soar high above the earth; up close, they reveal delicate details like beads and feathers, creating work that is both deeply intimate and cosmically expansive.
  • For a full list of exhibitions, visit our exhibitions webpage.
