Direktion für Alle!

Since December 2024, the Direktion für Alle! has been open to all visitors of the MAK. As a place to simply take a rest but also for creative activities such as workshops, readings, receptions, or performances.

Originally, this room served as the meeting room of the board of trustees. Later it was used as the Directors’ Office. The distinctive shelves made of cast concrete, designed by Peter Noever during his tenure, now contain numerous educational materials in handcrafted archive boxes. In 2021, General Director Lilli Hollein opened this room to the public.

The mischer’traxler design studio took the needs of a diverse audience into account when designing the room. This spatial design was implemented with the support of the Heinzel Group und Cornelius Grupp.

MAK Art Information

The MAK Volunteers' art information desk is usually open on Tuesdays from 11 am to 1 pm and Fridays from 2 pm to 4 pm. You will find them at the following highlights of the MAK Collection:

Adults

Our regular program provides an overview, while our special tours are an invitation to delve that bit deeper.

In addition to guided tours with curators, which facilitate deeper thematic insights, guided tours with designers, artists, and architects invite visitors to communicate with creatives directly.

Children and Families

For over 150 years, children both young and old have come to us for ideas: everywhere there are things just waiting to be discovered. Knowledge, history, and visions are taught in a clear, playful, and constantly changing way. Workshops provide the opportunity for you to get involved and bring your ideas to life.
