Where-To-Go Wednesday - The Mad Mad World of Jonathan Adler

We received complimentary tickets to the Museum of Arts and Design for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own.

What: The Mad Mad World of Jonathan Adler

Where: Museum of Arts and Design

             2 Columbus Circle

             New York, NY

Who: Recommended for Ages 13 and Up 

When: Through April 19, 2026

The Mad Mad World of Jonathan Adler is an exhibit curated by the artist himself for the Museum of Arts and Design. The exhibit includes not only his own work but also the works of other artists he admires whose pieces are in the museum's collection. They include Mary McFadden, Hans Cooper, John Prip, and, more especially, his muse, Howard Kottler. A whole section of the exhibit is devoted to the latter.

Other sections feature works of art highlighting animals, crafts, and more. There is even a section centered around works of erotica, so if this offends you or you don't want your young children exposed to works of this type, you might want to skip it or come with out them, depending on how you feel about it. There is also a section based on a particular material, specifically metal, rather than a specific theme

Much, if not all, of the artwork in the collection is quite whimsical and fun. These include works of art devoted to specific historical figures, those shaped like surprising objects, and more, including a delightful sculpture of the artist himself.  Some are functional; others are just decorative. This is truly the kind of exhibit that even those who don't normally like art may enjoy and appreciate.

And that's our view. For more about this exhibit or to purchase tickets to visit, go to madmuseum.org/exhibition/mad-mad-world-jonathan-adler.

Tune in tomorrow for Theater Thursday.

Giveaway: Win a copy of Influencers Who Kill in the Honey Bunny Giveaway Hop!

 

Welcome to the Honey Bunny Giveaway Hop

hosted by Mama the Fox and Mom Does Reviews

If you or your honey bunny has an interest in a true crime, you'll enjoy the new book by Madison Salters, Influencers Who Kill. This extremely dark collection of stories about real-life murders committed by perpetrators with some level of internet fame is definitely not for the faint of heart.  They include the cases of a woman who brought a gun to the Yahoo Headquarters, a boy who killed his whole family, a woman who hired a couple of men to kill her husband, and more. Even though these people are not so famous online that you probably would have heard of most or any of them before, their stories are still morbidly fascinating for those who have an interest in that sort of thing. For more about this book, see our previous post Tips for Tuesday: Books - Influencers Who Kill. Enter to win a copy below:
