Decorative Arts Museum
An arts and crafts museum is a museum for works of applied art that is occasionally part of a training facility (see: arts and crafts school ) or is associated with one.
Arts and crafts museums as institutions emerged from the art and wonder chambers of the 18th century with the purpose of providing exemplary art-technical models for art and craft in the royal cities and free imperial cities. In this regard, they are sample collections for teaching and business development. This led to the affiliation of arts and crafts schools to the arts and crafts museums (Berlin, Zurich) or, as in Weimar, to the coexistence of a museum for arts and crafts ( Harry Graf Kessler ) with an art school ( Hans Olde ), a sculpture school ( Adolf Brütt - who is also a member of the advisory board of Berlin Kunstgewerbemuseum was) and Kunstgewerbeschule ( Henry van de Velde ).
