The MAK Permanent Collection VIENNA 1900. Design / Arts and Crafts 1890–1938 presents the history of art nouveau in three roomsits emergence, heyday, and progression. Focusing on Viennese Modernism and its protagonists, we carefully examine the Wiener Werkstätte and its rival, Adolf Loos. Together, we consider the question of why the Wiener Werkstätte no longer exists and in what direction arts and crafts developed in the period after World War I: a culture-historical journey through time with contemporary relevance.
