SUPPORT DESIGN.
EMPOWER DIALOGUE.
BE AN IFMAK.

As an International Friend of the MAK, you become part of a vibrant global community of visionaries, creatives, and cultural patrons who recognize the transformative power of applied arts. Your support goes far beyond membership — it is an active investment in the MAK’s mission to celebrate, challenge, and advance design in all its dimensions.

Together, we champion innovation, foster international dialogue, and ensure that the MAK continues to be a platform for bold ideas and cross-cultural exchange through groundbreaking exhibitions, residencies and collaborations.

Your contribution enables us to
 
  • keep the MAK and its collections open and accessible to diverse audiences,
  • curate world-class exhibitions that spark conversation and inspire change,
  • reserve and expand our holdings as one of Europe’s leading applied arts institutions,
  • deliver cutting-edge educational programming for all generations,
  • sustain the long-term renovation and preservation of our historic spaces.
DESIGN HAS NO BORDERS.
NEITHER DOES YOUR IMPACT.
SUPPORT THE MAK.
