Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe

One of Europe's leading design museums right at the heart of Hamburg – the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg

Opened in 1877, the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg (MK&G) is one of Europe’s leading design museums. Its unique collection ranges from antiquity to contemporary innovations and encompasses the European, East Asian and Islamic cultural realms. On view are spectacular highlights such as the Spiegel Canteen (1969) by Danish designer Verner Panton, the Art Nouveau ensemble “Pariser Saal” (ca. 1900) and the impressive light object “Shylight” by the artist duo DRIFT.

Numerous exhibitions, events and projects shed light on developments in society as they explore how we design our world. In addition to aesthetic concerns and entertaining themes, the focus is increasingly on socio-political issues with regard to the environment, sustainability and speculative visions of the future.

Visitors are received in one of the most beautiful museum foyers anywhere – designed by Studio Besau-Marguerre from Hamburg. The Freiraum space at the MK&G is accessible free of charge, inviting visitors to linger, read and converse.
