European museums have greatly benefited from imperialism and the associated structures of colonial exploitation. In her tour, Munira Mohamud illustrates, using selected objects from the MAK’s permanent collections, how colonial structures imposed global connections and continue to shape both the museum and Austrian craftsmanship to this day.
