New Exhibition - Likes Matter.

Since its start in 2018, the Museum of Furniture Studies has consistently posted design objects from the collection on Instagram at 8 pm every night. The exhibition "LIKES MATTER" shows the followers’ reactions in the form of likes.  As coincidences often control our reactions this is a superficial way of measuring popularity, but it can still indicate the type of furniture that attracts an audience on social media today.  Besides thematic exhibitions, the museum’s is permanently showing around 600 objects from its collection of design furniture from the early 1900s until today.

Josef Hoffmann was one of the co-founders of the artist and architect movement Wiener Secession in 1897 and the Wiener Werktstätte in 1903. Hoffmann designed buildings, furniture and objects that are seen as some of the greatest examples of the European art nouveau/ jugend style.
