MAK – Museum of Applied Arts
MAK – Museum of Applied Arts, Decorative arts museum in Innere Stadt, Austria
The MAK Museum spans three main exhibition areas displaying historical artifacts, contemporary design pieces, and rotating special collections focusing on applied arts and crafts.
Emperor Franz Joseph I established the Imperial Royal Austrian Museum of Art and Industry in 1863 as an educational resource for artists and manufacturers.
The museum maintains collections of Baroque glassware, Biedermeier furniture, Art Nouveau objects, and industrial designs that reflect Austrian artistic development through centuries.
Located at Stubenring 5, the museum provides digital audio guides in multiple languages and maintains complete wheelchair accessibility throughout the exhibition spaces.
The MAK became the first museum worldwide to purchase art using Bitcoin in 2015, marking its position at the intersection of traditional arts and digital innovation.
