The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) at Columbus Circle is dedicated to contemporary crafts and design. The museum shop is fantastic and offers a range of items centered around design. Be sure to drop in at the café for a break and enjoy the fabulous view of Central Park. 

Every Thursday there is a 50% discount on the ticket (from 4 to 7 p.m.). Since the MAD is one of the smaller museums, you don’t have to wait much. By the way: every Friday and Saturday there is a free tour at 11.30 a.m..

Current Exhibitions at the MAD New York

  • Barbie®: A Cultural Icon (Oct 19, 2024–Mar 16, 2025)
  • Anne Wilson: ERRANT BEHAVIORS (ongoing)
  • OUT of the Jewelry Box (ongoing)
  • Craft Front & Center: Conversation Pieces (Ongoing)

What can you do after the visit?

Either walk through Central Park, which is located directly across from the MAD Museum. You feel more like shopping? The stores at Columbus Circle and 5th Avenue are within easy reach!
