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.

Schools

The MAK School Program is oriented to children and young people aged 3 to 18. We individually incorporate the needs of the smallest, as well as the prior knowledge and areas of interest of the older participants. 

Groups

Groups of various sizes are very welcome at the MAK! At our main address on Vienna’s Ringstraße, we offer introductory tours of the permanent exhibitions as well as guided tours of current exhibitions at a time of your choosing.
