Guided Tours

The aim of our art education program is to arouse and foster interest: We try to adapt our program to suit the participants’ needs and wishes. Dialogue is key: questions are welcome and knowledge should be imparted in a fun way. Over a period of 60 or 90 minutes, the participants gain an intensive insight into the topic at hand. It is also possible to combine various subject areas. Each tour can also be combined with one of our workshops.

TOUR

A tour through the museum provides an insight into every area of the collection. After a short introduction to the history of the building, we look around the MAK Permanent Collection, explain the presentation concept, and discuss individual exhibits. A journey through the centuries and an insight into the history of the museum make the tour a good basis for later exploring the museum alone.

VIENNA 1900

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.

MAK DESIGN LAB

Here we deal with the important topics of today. Climate protection, artificial intelligence, recycling, careers of the future, data protection, automation, utopias, and the dilemma of design. What is design and how does it influence our everyday life? What approaches to solutions can design offer for facing the challenges of designing life in the 21st century? Will robots take over our jobs, what should we learn in future, how can we protect our climate and live in harmony with our planet? Design is change!

No fear of the future! Contemplation and creative participation! Stay curious! The MAK DESIGN LAB, including interactive stations, invites discovery.

We offer three thematic access points for our tours:
