Who: All ages

When: Through August 16, 2026

Nikolai and Simon Haas are twin brothers and artists who started out making furniture before becoming full-time artists. Their work is a unique cross-section between art and design. It is both carefully crafted and extremely playful. 

They are perhaps best known for their whimsical sculptures. These creations resemble real creatures and yet don't. This makes them both fun and perhaps a little unsettling. Punny names like Cheetah Hayworth, Fleece-A-Kudrow, and Mouth-Ew Broderick only serve to blur the line between fantasy and reality even further. 

In addition to numerous imaginative creatures, the exhibit also features other works by the brothers. These include Endless Paintings, which are digital landscapes programmed to constantly redraw themselves; ceramic creations known as Accretions; and even some pieces of furniture,

And that's our view. For more about this exhibit, the Museum of Arts and Design in general, or to purchase tickets to visit the museum, go to madmuseum.org.

Tune in tomorrow for Theater Thursday.
