Built between 1877 and 1881, it started its career as the
Museum of Applied Art. Thoroughly demolished during the Second
World War, it was restored in 1981. In use ever since for large
temporary exhibitions. Sweeping recent restoration has made it
possible that major exhibitions can be mounted. The
"Werkbundarchiv" (Museum der Alltagskultur des
20.Jahrhunderts or Museum of Everyday Culture of the Twentieth
Century) will be housed in a part of the building
