Every three years the “Eligius“ Jewelry Award of the Federal State of Salzburg competition is held, open to entrants from
all over Austria. Mainly young artists producing innovative works take part in the competition, with the selection offering
an overview of today’s jewelry scene in Austria. This year for the first time, a presentation will take place in the MAK,
in cooperation with the Traklhaus in Salzburg, where the objects, selected and given awards by an expert jury, will be on
display before.

MAK Study Collection In the Study Collection, the MAK exhibits selected objects of its extensive collection on a permanent basis. The arrangement
by materials corresponds to the specializations of the collection’s curators, while the selection is based mainly on major
lines of development. Temporary exhibitions offer an opportunity to cast a spotlight on various aspects of the collection
and to consider objects in the collection between the poles of applied and contemporary art.
