MAD presents contemporary art and design through a craft lens. An artist-centered institution, its wide-ranging rotating exhibitions share a focus on process and materials and its broad programming features options for all ages. The museum also has a store selling contemporary handmade design objects and a restaurant, Robert, with views of Central Park. MAD offers two premier event spaces: a 7th floor event space, 1,560 square feet, with stunning views of Columbus Circle and Central Park; and a mid-century style theater that seats 143.
