Scheuer Auditorium

Visitors ages 18 and up with intellectual or developmental disabilities and their families are invited to join us for a multi-sensory tour and artmaking workshop exploring Modernity and Opulence: Women of the Wiener Werkstätte.

Modernity and Opulence: Women of the Wiener Werkstätte sheds new light on the role that Jewish women played as artists, designers, patrons, and tastemakers in early 20th-century Vienna. This exhibition contains clothing, textiles, ceramics, toys, paintings, and more designed by this collective. Their style and ideas helped shape design in Vienna and beyond.

All Access Programs are free of charge and require advance reservation. If you have any questions or need accommodations, please contact [email protected] or 212.423.3289. If you are interested in observing this program, please reach out to us before registering.
