Lonely Planet review

The Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe has posters, ornaments and temporary exhibitions that are always lots of fun. Its vast collection of sculpture, furniture, jewellery, porcelain, musical instruments and household objects runs the gamut from Italian to Islamic, from Japanese to Viennese and from medieval to pop art eye-candy.

There are period rooms, including an Art Nouveau salon from the 1900 Paris World Fair and a room designed by Belgian architect Henry van der Velde, plus sections on modern poster design, graphic design and Italian design from the 1950s to 1990s (with Bakelite, space-age shaped TVs!). The museum café is integrated into the exhibition space.
