The Museum of Applied Arts (MAK), founded in 1863 under Emperor Franz Joseph I as the Imperial Royal Austrian Museum of Art and Industry, is one of the most grandiose buildings on Vienna’s Ringstraße. Located between the nearby Stadtpark and the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the MAK with its collection of about 900.000 objects and printed works from five centuries ranks among the most important museums of its kind worldwide. Its extensive permanent collection Vienna 1900 is entirely dedicated to the development of Viennese arts and crafts between 1890 and 1938, tells the story of the search for and development of a unique Viennese style, and sheds light on the socio-political aspects relevant to Viennese Modernism. Masterpieces by Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser are just as much part of this collection as the trendsetting furniture design by Otto Wagner and Adolf Loos. Conference attendees will have the opportunity to visit this impressive exhibition before the dinner.
