One of the most spectacular buildings in Vienna, the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) plays host to an enormous collection of art, crafts and design spanning five centuries. 

From medieval relics, right up to present-day pieces, each exhibition space explores how art and design aren’t purely a matter of aesthetics, but a much-needed necessity to answer the challenges that change and modernization can throw up. 

Furniture, ceramics, textiles, glassware, and jewelry all feature, including works by Art nouveau painter Gustav Klimt, Austrian architect Josef Hoffmann, and James Turrell, an American artist famed for his focus on light and space installations. There’s also a ‘design lab’, where artists, architects and programmers collaborate to offer up solutions to 21st-century problems. 

You could spend a long old while wandering around this stunning building, so if your visit spans lunch or dinner time, MAK restaurant Salonplafond is also very much worth your attention. Great service, lovely surroundings, and beautifully cooked modern-traditional cuisine: think slow-roasted veal, homemade ravioli, and sumptuous, comforting puddings.

• Permanent Collection Vienna 1900
• Permanent Collection Baroque, Rococo, Classicism
• Permanent Collection Historicism and Art Nouveau
• Permanent Collection Empire Style and Biedermeier
