This Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe is an applied arts museum in central Hamburg.

The Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe (Museum for Art & Industry; mkg-hamburg.de; adult/child €14/free; 10am-6pm Tue-Sun, to 9pm Thu) is lots of fun. Its vast collection of sculpture, furniture, fashion, jewelry, posters, porcelain, musical instruments and household objects runs the gamut from Italian to Islamic, Japanese to Viennese and medieval to pop art, and includes an art-nouveau salon from the 1900 Paris World Fair. The museum cafe is part of the exhibition space.
