Museum of Applied Arts (couple trip)

easily one of my favorite museums in Vienna! very cool exhibitions, nice atmosphere and thoughtful elements (love the big sofa). Helmut Lang retrospective is a must!

The building alone is worth visiting. Inspired by the V&A in London, the architecture is gorgeous and detailed and imposing. While the main collection is currently closed, there is still plenty to see and always a fresh view and exhibition method to shake things up. From Baroque to contemporary, a beautiful museum.

This is the design museum of Vienna and I like to visit whenever I am in the city. The Christmas tree decoration exhibit was interesting and also the climate posters downstairs at the lab floor. The video/AI was less impressive IMHO.

This museum is supposed to have a great collection, for example of carpets, but the things on display are really limited. The display in the room dedicated to Asia is maybe interesting as an instalation but totally visitor non-frienly (handwriten captions on a transparent glass???). The building is stunning though ! A Renaissance vila in the centr of Vienna.

Stunning atrium. The basement exhibitions, both permanent and temporary, are more inspiring than the classics on the ground floor. The second floor (2nd in the US and Chinese sense, but 1st floor in the German speaking areas) are basically closed ( three rooms under renovation and the lecture hall only open to events). I was kindly warned about the closures before I paid for the ticket. The lock...
