Latest acquisitions (2000-2016)

The collection of the National Museum of Decorative Arts hasn't stopped growing since it opened in 1912. In the last 16 years more than 7.000 objects have joined the collection, many of them on display in this exhibition. You'll find pieces from homes, churches and palaces from medieval times, European court productions from the Modern Age, objects imported via commercial relationships with the overseas territories of America and the Far East, elements characteristic of the 19th and 20th centuries, and a progressive presence of contemporary design, including the important Bröhan collection that was acquired in 1999.
