Official review: “MAK – Museum of Applied Art” (Vienna)
LOCATION. Closest station: Stubentor. Exit the station and walk east for two minutes. The museum is at the corner of Stubenring right across the picnic meadows.
Or you can walk from the opposite direction from Wien Mitte Station – especially if you come from the airport. Just walk across the river canal and you’ll be there in three minutes.
THE EXHIBITIONS. Last time we were in Leopold Museum and we have seen Vienna 1900 - a permanent exhibition on paintings, architecture, furnishing and all kinds of “applied” design.
And now here you’ll find the remaining half of it.
The rest of the perm (photo) entails a furniture collection from the last five hundred years with substantial congeries of East Asian imports. The galleries are dark and greenhouse-hot – it was a steaming summer day after all.
Compare this hardship with all these temporary exhibitions (clip). Occupying more than half of the gallery space – they’re no less meat than the rest, spacious, and perhaps overly comfortable having the museum's exclusive supply of air-conditioned air.
(In my visit they’re doing various showcases of futurism – climate change, AI, privacy and social touch in our age of digitalization and dehumanization.)
Time is asset: save it for better with 25-min museum tours. Or find yourself in my novel, check out the photo of the day and finish it off with a secret prize.
