Kunstgewerbemuseum, Berlin

Founded in 1868 as a museum for modern design, this museum didn't restrict itself for very long. In 1874 the Lüneberg silver collection was added, and in 1875, 7,000 items from the Royal Art Collection were brought here. The collection was divided up after the War, with some of it being moved to Schloß Köpenick and the rest to the present museum in the Kulturforum. The museum houses a broad collection of European arts and crafts from the early medieval period to the present day. The exhibition includes furniture, costumes, porcelain, crystal, jewelery and metal work. Temporary exhibitions are occasionally organized.
