Ein Museum im Glück (a museum in clover). Masterpieces of applied art from the collection of the Overstolzengesellschaft
18 May to 29 September 2013
The roughly 125 high quality exhibits from 125 years of collecting activity by the museum’s patrons include impressive, unique items and design classics and reflect the policy of acquisitions and donations by the Overstolzengesellschaft which spans various different epochs and cosmopolitan in character. The objects on show include fittings and furnishings, works in glass and porcelain, fashion and bookbinding – in short, all the important groups of objects from the realm of applied art. Volunteers from the workgroup of the Overstolzengesellschaft have actively participated in the creation of this exhibition and will present their personal favourites. Thus the exhibition will include – alongside major works – a fascinating and unusual selection of objects which reflect the sensibility, taste and professionalism of the museum’s patrons.

Der schöne Schein – beautiful veneer – German faience art
15 June to 29 September 2013
On the occasion of the museum’s anniversary, its important collection of German faience objects will be edited, exhibited and published by museum experts. This outstanding collection comprises roughly 200 objects – crockery and figurines – from various different German faience manufactories of the 18th and early 19th centuries, among them rare individual pieces and faience objects decorated by “Hausmaler”, free-lance home painters. This exhibition will present for the first time the museum’s rich collection of faience objects from Germany. The show will also include other collection areas of the MAKK in order to document the refined domestic culture of the 18th and early 19th centuries. Alongside the models used for the decoration of faience objects, the exhibition will present exhibits from other collection areas such as textiles, small items of furniture, metal tableware, glasses and cutlery.
