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

On display are spectacular highlights such as the Mirror Canteen (1969) by Danish designer Verner Panton, the Art Nouveau ensemble ‘Pariser Saal’ (around 1900) or the impressive light object ‘Shylight’ by artist duo DRIFT (2006).

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 welcomed in one of the most beautiful museum foyers - designed by the Hamburg design studio Studio Besau-Marguerre. The open space in the MK&G, which is accessible free of charge, invites visitors to linger, read and discuss.
