Explore the MAK in Vienna with Free Admission

On Sunday, December 28, 2025, the MAK will open its doors with free admission. This is made possible through a cooperation with Porsche Holding Salzburg.

Exhibition on Austrian Fashion Icon Helmut Lang

From 10 AM to 6 PM, visitors will have access to all current exhibitions as well as the display rooms of the MAK collection. The focus is on the newly opened show HELMUT LANG. SÉANCE DE TRAVAIL 1986–2005 / Excerpts from the MAK Helmut Lang Archive, which for the first time provides a comprehensive insight into the artistic oeuvre of the fashion designer. The presentation is based on the Helmut Lang Archive, acquired by the MAK in 2011, which is considered the only official public archive of his work.

“Thanks to the generous support of Porsche Holding Salzburg, we can offer free access to a wide audience on December 28,” explained MAK General Director Lilli Hollein. The museum program at the end of the year offers a thematic diversity that has something for all age groups – from fashion and identity discourses to artisanal treasures.
