The Museum of Applied Arts Vienna or MAK is a true immersion into design and artistic elegance, with elaborate glass objects, refined furniture, works in silver and porcelain and even textiles.
This historic and prestigious Museum Institute from 1864 hosts, in addition to craftsmanship, architecture and contemporary art.
The MAK was founded as a museum of art and industry but, in 1986, its internal artistic policy changed significantly, shifting the focus mainly to works from various artistic and architectural movements.
The Museum hosts and preserves furnishings and artifacts up to the contemporary era, with artists such as Donald Judd and James Turrell, and models of famous architectural buildings.
This collection has been divided within the building in an absolutely functional way, to make the visit easier for guests.
The exhibition collection is composed of handcrafted works displayed in chronological and geographical order. Here we can find drawings by the master Gustav Klimt of a mosaic frieze for the Stoclet Palace in Brussels.
The study collection is divided according to the material from which the handcrafted artifacts are made, such as the most important objects of Japanese artistic prints.
