Our interactive guided tours and workshops: applied and visionary!
An exciting journey to the history of life design awaits you - through the centuries to our present. In interactive guided tours and workshops we convey the world of artistic everyday design and the history of design. We deal with old and new materials as well as almost forgotten and innovative techniques and ask ourselves what makes an everyday object art. What do we want to learn from the past and how can we design the future in a way that a sustainable coexistence on and with our planet can succeed?
Today we are facing new challenges in our lives and our everyday life, especially the climate crisis plays a central role. Design can help us to change our future and also our coexistence with our planet and to stand up for biodiversity and diversity. In an interactive and playful tour through the MAK Design Lab, we will explore circular economy and solutions for sustainable consumption. After all, sharing opportunities, repairing things, and understanding old materials as resources can help us live together in a more sustainable way.
Our diverse range of workshops is aimed squarely at the designers of the future. Here you can not only learn handicraft skills, but also think creatively together. We experiment and try things out in an artistic and exploratory way!
Do you have a special topic in mind? We will gladly try to respond to your ideas individually or to combine guided tours and workshops individually.
We also have online school offerings that you can use to prepare and follow up on your lessons.

Highlights of the MAK Collection
An exciting journey through the centuries to our present day awaits you. In the interactive MAK Tour, we immerse ourselves in an exciting dialogue between art and everyday life and convey the history of design - from craftsmanship to industrial design to innovative solutions of the 21st century. We look at old and innovative materials and techniques, historical and modern furniture design, reflect on the history of sitting, stroll through the top collection, let ourselves be impressed by extraordinary treasures such as jewelry, glass, porcelain or even cutlery, marvel at Gustav Klimt's Tree of Life and, of course, ask ourselves the question of what makes an object of everyday use art. Among other things, we will talk together about what we can learn from the past and how we can shape the future in such a way that sustainable coexistence on and with our planet can succeed.

Luxury Tour through the MAK
From the cult of nobility to life after abundance
Luxury often refers to that which is not in abundance. What does luxury mean today, what did it look like in the past and what should definitely not be luxury in the future? Things like the internet and smartphones have become a matter of course and basic needs like clean water, pure air and exercise in nature are in danger of becoming luxuries. Our search for clues leads us through the historical collections of the MAK to the MAK Design Lab. There, design solutions await you that inspire us to rethink production, overproduction and consumption. At a game table, designed by the designer team breadedEscalope, we all play and discuss together about our very normal abundance.

The Glass Workshop by MAK and POLKA Design
MAK introduces its new workshop format with a new material focus: Material Matters! On the occasion of the exhibition GLANZ UND GLAMOUR. 200 Years of Lobmeyr, we are offering for the first time the workshop for glass conceived and designed by the designer duo POLKA. After immersing ourselves in the glass world of drinking services, decorative tableware, mirrors and chandeliers of the world-famous glassmaking dynasty during a tour of the exhibition, we will jointly retrace the design process of a drinking glass - from two-dimensional design to the development of prototypes to production and finishing processes. Afterwards, the students will try their hand at artistic glass finishing. A drinking glass engraved with personal initials can then be taken home.

Highlights of the MAK Collection
An exciting journey through the centuries to our present day awaits you. In the interactive MAK Tour, we immerse ourselves in an exciting dialogue between art and everyday life and convey the history of design - from craftsmanship to industrial design to innovative solutions of the 21st century. We look at old and innovative materials and techniques, historical and modern furniture design, reflect on the history of sitting, stroll through the top collection, let ourselves be impressed by extraordinary treasures such as jewelry, glass, porcelain or even cutlery, marvel at Gustav Klimt's Tree of Life and, of course, ask ourselves the question of what makes an object of everyday use art. Among other things, we will talk together about what we can learn from the past and how we can shape the future in such a way that sustainable coexistence on and with our planet can succeed.

Luxury Tour through the MAK
From the cult of nobility to life after abundance
Luxury often refers to that which is not in abundance. What does luxury mean today, what did it look like in the past and what should definitely not be luxury in the future? Things like the internet and smartphones have become a matter of course and basic needs like clean water, pure air and exercise in nature are in danger of becoming luxuries. Our search for clues leads us through the historical collections of the MAK to the MAK Design Lab. There, design solutions await you that inspire us to rethink production, overproduction and consumption. At a game table, designed by the designer team breadedEscalope, we all play and discuss together about our very normal abundance.

An exciting journey to the history of life design awaits you - through the centuries to our present. In interactive guided tours and workshops we convey the world of artistic everyday design and the history of design. We deal with old and new materials as well as almost forgotten and innovative techniques and ask ourselves what makes an everyday object art. What do we want to learn from the past and how can we design the future in a way that a sustainable coexistence on and with our planet can succeed?
Today we are facing new challenges in our lives and our everyday life, especially the climate crisis plays a central role. Design can help us to change our future and also our coexistence with our planet and to stand up for biodiversity and diversity. In an interactive and playful tour through the MAK Design Lab, we will explore circular economy and solutions for sustainable consumption. After all, sharing opportunities, repairing things, and understanding old materials as resources can help us live together in a more sustainable way.
Our diverse range of workshops is aimed squarely at the designers of the future. Here you can not only learn handicraft skills, but also think creatively together. We experiment and try things out in an artistic and exploratory way!
Do you have a special topic in mind? We will gladly try to respond to your ideas individually or to combine guided tours and workshops individually.

After immersing ourselves in the glass world of drinking services, decorative tableware, mirrors and chandeliers of the world-famous glassmaking dynasty during a tour of the exhibition, we will jointly retrace the design process of a drinking glass - from two-dimensional design to the development of prototypes to production and finishing processes. Afterwards, the students will try their hand at artistic glass finishing. A drinking glass engraved with personal initials can then be taken home.

MAK Tour
Highlights of the MAK Collection
An exciting journey through the centuries to our present day awaits you. In the interactive MAK Tour, we immerse ourselves in an exciting dialogue between art and everyday life and convey the history of design - from craftsmanship to industrial design to innovative solutions of the 21st century. We look at old and innovative materials and techniques, historical and modern furniture design, reflect on the history of sitting, stroll through the top collection, let ourselves be impressed by extraordinary treasures such as jewelry, glass, porcelain or even cutlery, marvel at Gustav Klimt's Tree of Life and, of course, ask ourselves the question of what makes an object of everyday use art. Among other things, we will talk together about what we can learn from the past and how we can shape the future in such a way that sustainable coexistence on and with our planet can succeed.

Vienna 1900
The History of Art Nouveau
The MAK exhibition collection VIENNA 1900. Design/Crafts 1890-1938 presents the history of Art Nouveau in three rooms - its emergence, heyday and further development. With the focus on "Viennese Modernism" we discover the world-famous Wiener Werkstätte. We marvel at works by Gustav Klimt, Josef Hoffmann and his counterpart Adolf Loos, tell you interesting facts about the first Austrian female architect, Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, and introduce you to the artisan Rose Krenn. We look at the arts and crafts in the course of their time and take a closer look at social developments. You can expect a cultural-historical journey through time and an immersion in the atmosphere of Vienna at an exciting and contradictory turn of the century.

Luxury Tour through the MAK
From the cult of nobility to life after abundance
Luxury often refers to that which is not in abundance. What does luxury mean today, what did it look like in the past and what should definitely not be luxury in the future? Things like the internet and smartphones have become a matter of course and basic needs like clean water, pure air and exercise in nature are in danger of becoming luxuries. Our search for clues leads us through the historical collections of the MAK to the MAK Design Lab. There, design solutions await you that inspire us to rethink production, overproduction and consumption. At a game table, designed by the designer team breadedEscalope, we all play and discuss together about our very normal abundance.

Sitting - from armchairs, stools and toilets
The history of sitting and movement culture
Who sits where, how and why? How does the culture of sitting determine social orders? Are we a "sedentary" society today? On a journey through time of sitting, from the baroque to the future on raffia, wood, velvet, metal, from the design classic to the dog stool to the spinning top seat to try out, you will learn how the culture of sitting shapes our posture, reflects it and both restricts and expands it.

Forms of work of the future
What and how will we work and learn in the future? First, you can expect a guided tour and discussion on the topic of work and careers in times of digital innovation, urban innovation and against the backdrop of the climate crisis.
How will we live and work together in the future? What do we want to work for, what do we want to be passionate about? Which human skills will be required more than ever in the future and should be promoted? In a subsequent workshop, we model existing structures and bring visionary designs and fictional scenarios to old building complexes. For this purpose, we design diverse and imaginative personas that could inhabit this utopian city and dreamscape, and sketchily conceive the appropriate work clothes for them.
