Design in Bloom: Rooftop Brunch & Guided Tour at MAD

Advance Purchase Required here
Starting with an Art-full member's brunch at Robert, a stunning restaurant overlooking Columbus Circle, celebrated for its panoramic views and polished, seasonal menu, the afternoon features a curator-led tour of Alice Riehl’s Porcelain Florilegium. Riehl’s porcelain botanicals capture fleeting natural forms with remarkable precision, transforming them into lasting, almost archival objects.
Paired with this is MAD About Jewelry—one of the museum’s most anticipated annual showcases which brings together an international roster of artists who are redefining jewelry as sculpture, storytelling, and wearable art.
The experience is elevated by personal introductions to select artists, offering a rare, behind-the-scenes perspective on their work, and a great opportunity to find a special gift in advance of Mother’s Day!
Why you don’t want to miss it:
- Access intimate conversations with exhibiting artists
- Discover museum-quality works that range from delicate, nature-inspired forms to bold, statement-making pieces
- Enjoy a thoughtfully curated afternoon that blends design, dialogue, and a standout dining experience in one seamless flow
Schedule:
12 pm | Brunch at Robert
2 Columbus Circle
1:30-2:30 pm | Curator-led tour with time for independent shopping afterwards
