First Post!

Sort of cliché, but welcome to the MAD Blog! Why does Museum of Arts and Design need a blog? It is our hope over the coming months/years/eons that this blog will serve a couple of purposes. First, we hope to give a glimpse inside our museum, with everything from posts from our curators about how they plan exhibitions to chats with our registrars about the nuts-and-bolts of museum operations. We also hope that this blog will become a forum for discussion between artists and educators, and also a repository and collection point for information on topics of interest.
Big aspirations, we know, but hopefully if we start broad, we’ll find plenty to talk about!
So thanks for checking us out and feel free to comment.

Can’t wait for the new MAD building to open. It has been a marvelous experience being a docent here.

So psyched you guys have a blog up. Can’t wait to find out more behind the scenes stuff about what goes into putting together the exhibits. However, since it’s an art museum, please use more photos on your blog! I want to get excited about some of your exhibits and then know when i want to come visit. i was hoping to find something here on the extreme embroidery exhibit for example!

I visited your museum an was very impressed. I am an artist living and working in jerusalem, my work is on the same subjects as you show and I wanted to know if you are interested in seeing pictures of it, and if yes how could I send them to you.
thanks
