Museum of Art and Design
On view at MAD - The Museum of Art and Design are several wonderful exhibitions. First among them is the Nadler Collection of Silver. The show entitled “Portable Treasuries” shares silver jewelry of women from North Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, and the hill tribes of Southeast Asia. The show is fascinating not only for the jewelry designs, but equally for the economic workings of the women in these cultures who carried their savings with them - from dowry to death.
The show is complimented by a smart new restaurant — Robert — on the 9th floor with unobstructed views of Central Park from Columbus Circle.

AMNH Members will enjoy Once Upon a Fossil
Thursday, February 4th from 6:30 to 8:00 PM.
- How do you move a 20-ton fossil from one side of the room to the other? The Museum had to answer this and many other questions during the renovation of the fourth floor Fossil Halls. No longer would the fossils be displayed in chronological order, but according to their shared physiological characteristics, thus telling the story of vertebrate evolution. Join Paleontology Collection Manager Carl Mehling for this unique tour that reveals the stories of these large, heavy, and sometimes fragile specimens as they were reorganized and remounted.
This event is for AMNH members. Interested in becoming a member? Click here to learn about additional benefits - including jumping ahead of those enormous lines to the membership desk for admission.
