Over its long history since its foundation in 1888, the Museum of Applied Arts in Cologne (MAKK) has accrued an unusually comprehensive collection of jewellery that attests to a 7000-year history of ownership. This was made possible chiefly by the foresight and passion of three outstanding collectors and their generosity in the twentieth century, as well as many smaller individual donations and curatorial acquisitions over the years.
