MUSEUM OF ART & DESIGN

When the Museum of Arts and Design rebranded themselves from the American Craft Museum, they opened the door to explore the intersection between art and design in countless ways. MAD’s enthusiastic chief curator, David McFadden, searches the globe for works in a variety of media realms that emphasize this convergence. Sitting at the heart of Columbus Circle, the structure features nearly double the exhibition space of its previous home. With the top floor devoted to artist-in-residency studios, museum visitors are offered a rare glimpse into the process of art-making.
