MAK Central Room
The MAK collection includes both the objects from the imperi-al collection of Ferdinand of Tyrol’s Kunstkammer in Ambras and from the estate of Franz Ferdinand von Österreich-Este, as well as the majolica from Stift Neukloster in Wiener Neustadt. The historical exhibits are juxtaposed with designs by contemporary Italian majolica artists. Supplemented by international loans from important Viennese and Central European collections and accompanied by an extensive catalog, the MAK exhibition provides the first broad insight into the history of majolica.
