MODA is offering free general admission on Fridays in October, including tomorrow, October 23. Its current programming includes SALT: A Design Story, a reminder that a small everyday material can generate an entire design exhibition.
This is unusually well aligned with CAD, product-design and maker interests. Instead of trying to see everything, use the visit as a material-study exercise: find one object whose construction, texture or visual language could translate into a printed or laser-cut project.
The museum recommends reservations, though the listing says they are not required. Check the current exhibition schedule and hours before heading to Midtown.
What to do: Reserve a free Friday MODA visit and choose one material or fabrication idea to study.
