Museum of Arts & Design
 United States  / New York  |  Arts/Culture

The Museum of Arts and Design collects, displays, and interprets objects that document contemporary and historic innovation in craft, art, and design. In its exhibitions and educational programs, the Museum celebrates the creative process through which materials are crafted into works that enhance contemporary life.

For nearly half a century, the Museum of Arts & Design-formerly the American Craft Museum- has served as the country's premier institution dedicated to the collection and exhibition of contemporary objects created in media such as clay, glass, wood, metal, and fiber. The seed for the Museum, however, was planted more than 60 years ago, when Aileen Osborn Webb, the nation's premier craft patron and benefactor, established the American Craftsmen's Council in 1942.
