Here at MCD, we continue to extend our thoughts and support to those affected by Hurricane Helene. Many artists, designers, makers, and fellow creatives, including several represented in the Museum Store, have been impacted.

To support the affected artists in the Museum Store directly, we are donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their work back to the artists.
