TheHamburg is one of the leading European museums in the field of applied art.
Like most major museums in Europe and North America, It was founded in the second half of the 19th Century. It was modelled on the South Kensington Museum (founded in 1852 and today the Victoria & Albert Museum, London), the Austrian Museum für Kunst und Industrie (founded in 1863, today known as the MAK Wien) and the Deutsche Gewerbemuseum (founded in 1876, today the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin).
About Hamburg :
Hamburg is Germany's second largest city (after Berlin) and, with the Hamburg Harbour, its principal port. The official name Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg (Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg) recalls its membership in the mediæval Hanseatic League and the fact that Hamburg is a city state and one of Germany's sixteen Bundesländer.
