The MAK - Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna is where design, craft, and art collide. Housed in a magnificent 19th-century building along the Ringstrasse, this museum bridges the past and the future, showcasing everything from ornate imperial furnishings to cutting-edge contemporary design. If you’re interested in how art lives in everyday objects, the MAK is your destination.
 

Design Through the Ages

Start with the core collection: stunning decorative arts from the Baroque, Biedermeier, and Jugendstil periods. Think: finely crafted furniture, handwoven tapestries, delicate porcelain, and glasswork. Each gallery shows how aesthetics and function came together through the centuries, with rooms designed to reflect the spirit of their era.

Don’t miss the highlights from the Vienna Secession and Wiener Werkstätte, especially pieces by Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, pioneers of modern design. The clarity, geometry, and elegance of these works still feel fresh today.
 

Modern and Experimental

The MAK isn’t stuck in the past. Its temporary exhibitions and contemporary design installations push boundaries, often exploring social issues, sustainability, and digital culture. Interactive elements and bold curatorial choices make this museum feel alive.
