In cooperation with the City of Brno, the team at the Villa Tugendhat, and the City of Vienna, the MAK will show this exhibition for the first time in Austria in the fall of 2015. After last year’s film and book presentation Tugendhat House, this is another initiative by the MAK to convey its affiliation with Brno and this masterpiece of Modernist architecture, which is now protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in 1929–1930 by the German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for Grete and Fritz Tugendhat, the villa is considered Mies van der Rohe’s most important pre-war work and the most authentically preserved building in Europe. The construction, layout of the rooms, interior design, and technical equipment all set new standards at the time.
