The museum shows a newly renovated „Frankfurter Küche“, one of the first fitted kitchens. The austrian architect (the first one of her country) designed it for the social housing project „Das Neue Frankfurt“ by Ernst May, 30 variants were available, no larger than six to seven sq.m., over 10.000 units were made. Schütte-Lihotzky had a „kitchen lab“ in mind. The model on show is a further developed version, including a lockable drawer to keep the household money. The usability was once stated at 30 to 35 years, this one worked for 90 years.
