The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD)

Originally called The Museum of Contemporary Crafts, The Museum of Arts and Design opened in NYC in 1956. MAD is dedicated to collecting objects with a focus on contemporary and historic changes in art, design, and crafts. MAD is considered a celebration of all things creative and innovation. One of the museum's coolest additions in its new building on Columbus Circle is the Center for the Study of Jewelry. Here are some of the "must see" items at The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD).
