GRASSI Museum für Angewandte Kunst is a museum in Leipzig dedicated to applied arts and design. It is the second oldest museum of applied arts in Germany, after that of Berlin, with one of the most important collections in Europe, which has over 230,000 specimens. The museum's collection includes objects of European and non-European craftsmanship from antiquity to the present day, with particular attention to the applied arts of the 1920s and 1930s. There is also a library with about 60,000 books, over 50,000 graphic works and about 75,000 photographs. Man's primary needs to dress and decorate himself, to design his own home and environment have always remained the same over the millennia. Reflecting on this theme, in its various forms, is a major objective that the museum has set itself. The museum itinerary is divided into three macro-sections: historical objects from antiquity to the 20th century; Oriental art; from the Jugendstil to the present day.
