In 2015, Hiraaki Izuru, founder of the Cabin apparel company, deposited his collection of fin‐de‐siècle Viennese graphic design in the museum. From the Secession movement, formed in 1897, to the outbreak of World War 1 in 1914, Viennese artists such as Gustav Klimt and Josef Hoffmann, created a host of outstanding works in their search for art and design that befitted a new age. With technical developments in printing and the flourishing of the magazine medium, graphic design played an essential role by conveying new trends in art and design to the public and permeating society. In addition to examining the entire scope of this enormous collection, made up of over 300 items, the exhibition presents plaster sculptures by Richard Luksch and a priceless set of furniture by Adolf Loos (also originally owned by Hiraaki) to exemplify the vitality and charm of fin‐de‐siècle Vienna.
