Located in the heart of Manhattan on Columbus Circle, the Museum of Arts and Design is definitely worth visiting. This museum focuses on works showing innovation in the areas of art, craft, and design.
The Museum of Art and Design is small, and its halls are located one above the other. There are small expositions of the “classic” type on the lower floors – with objects, installations, and video screens. Its collection includes jewelry, artifacts, tapestries, and more. The MAD boasts art from all over the world and prioritizes an interactive experience for its visitors. You will undoubtedly find something for yourself regardless of your preferences and tastes. Pay special attention to temporary exhibitions – some will turn your ideas about design upside down.
In addition to exhibitions, the museum has an auditorium of 150 seats and studios where artists work. These studios can be visited and looked at in the process of creating paintings and sculptures. Furthermore, the museum constantly holds lectures and master classes.
The museum itself, although not large, but rich. Exhibitions can be bypassed in an hour; after that, you can look into the restaurant on the 9th floor. From there, you will have a stunning view of Central Park.
