Museum of Arts &
Design(formerly the
American Craft Museum)
40 West 53rd Street (between 5th and 6th
Avenues)
Manhattan
(212) 956-3535
Devoted to the artistic
handicrafts tradition with items made
from fabric, ceramics, metals, and wood.
Many items are particularly creative and
innovative -- could be the influence of MOMA across the street (although the Museum
plans to move to 2 Columbus Circle).
To get there by subway, take
the E or F train to the Fifth Avenue
stop. For details about hours, admission
and current exhibits, visit their web site.
