Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg
Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg stands near Hamburg Hauptbahnhof in a neo-Renaissance building, presenting fine, applied, and decorative arts. Founded in 1874, it moved there in 1877.
European, Islamic, and Asian collections span four thousand years, linking objects from distant cultures and periods. Historic harpsichords and pianos anchor the instrument displays. Islamic ceramics, carpets, books, faience, and porcelain broaden the material range, while an early sixteenth-century carpet from Lüne Abbey adds a rare textile highlight. Baroque figurines, antique pottery, weapons, graphic art, photography, and book art extend the collection across many forms.
Furniture by Henry van de Velde and Paul Gauguin shares space with a Japanese tea house and Art Nouveau works. The Paris Room contains sculptures by Richard Luksch and Otto Eckmann’s Swan Carpet. Expressionist works and Bauhaus-style everyday objects represent the modern collection. Wheelchair access makes the galleries easier to explore.
