As the first museum on the Ringstraße, the MAK assumed a very special role. Right now, you might be standing in the Columned Main Hall of this building by architect Heinrich von Ferstel, completed in 1871. The MAK had already been founded eight years before, in 1863, by Rudolf von Eitelberger, the first professor of art history in Vienna.
