Leipzig Museum of Applied Arts

It is the second oldest museum of decorative arts in the country,[1][2] founded just six years after the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin.

The museum owns around 90,000 items, of European and non-European origin, featuring decorative art from all eras since antiquity.

The items include ceramics, textiles, glassware, metalwork, sculpture, furniture and coinage.

[3] More than 2,000 items are on permanent display,[4] currently split between two exhibitions: "From Antiquity to Historism" and "Asian Art".

One highlight of the museum is the "Roman Hall", with panels salvaged from a palace in Eythra, near Leipzig, which was demolished to make way for coal mining.
