Wow. Always impressive! - This museum packs a punch. It always fascinates and presents remarkable exhibits. The displays of art, furniture, ceramics, glass and inventions are exceptional. This museum is also in a monumental building. It should be rated much higher.

Fascinating museum of Design and Innovation - Very interesting museum of design and innovation in a fabulous building. The exhibits were fascinating. Do not miss the Klimt art display in the Vienna 1900 collection. We visited the AUT NOW 100 × Austrian Design for the 21st Century exhibit. Fascinating. Be sure to check the current exhibits before you go.

Totally disappointed - We went to the Mak today. We expected a lot from the Dagobert Peche exhibition. Unfortunately, it was extremely disappointing. At the beginning, when one enters the exhibition, the end of D. Peche's life is described and not the beginning of his life, and the various stations. That means you have to go back and forth unnecessarily. The description of the individual objects are so small and poorly lit and attached far too low, so you have to constantly dislocate and see almost nothing through the poor illumination of the microscopic signs, and at some point you just give up. The chipboard walls also take some getting used to. Maybe you wanted to save, but that's how it's easy wrong. The interesting bad luck objects have the art trade and even on "Willhaben" you can find more beautiful pieces. We recently visited a Matisse exhibition in Mestre, yes in Mestre, and one in Padua, and so one imagines exhibitions, although Matisse in Mestre was also free. Now I can say, unfortunately, it's too bad about the money and the time.

"Museum That Hates Children - Avoid if You Have Kids" - "Museum That Hates Children - Avoid if You Have Kids" This was, without a doubt, the most horrible experience I have ever had at any museum. If you have children, do NOT come here—they are clearly not welcome. From the moment we entered, the curators in every room made us feel like we were a nuisance. They followed us around like Gestapo police, making the entire visit feel oppressive and unwelcoming. The worst part was when a lady yelled at my 6-year-old child because he touched something. He was so scared that we had to leave that part of the exhibition altogether. It was heartbreaking to see him frightened in what should have been an enjoyable, educational environment. Downstairs, in the "interactive" section where you're supposed to draw on an erasable wall with markers, we were scolded again. Apparently, my child was "drawing too much" and "spoiling it for others." It's an erasable wall! What is the point if kids can't engage with it freely? In another interactive section, a staff member just stood there glaring at us while we played at the tables. The hostility from the staff made us feel completely unwelcome and uncomfortable. This museum needs to seriously reevaluate how it trains its staff and rethink whether it wants to advertise itself as family-friendly. Right now, it’s anything but. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone with kids, and honestly, I regret the time and money spent here.
