Appliedarts refers to the application of design and aesthetics to objects of function and everyday use.
Whereas fine arts serve as intellectual stimulation to the viewer or academic sensibilities, the appliedarts incorporate design and creative ideals to objects of utility, such as a cup, magazine or decorative park bench.
In Western culture, since the Arts and Crafts Movement at the turn of 19th century, the appliedarts have grown in importance and recognition.
The Museum of AppliedArts was opened in 18 July 1980 as a filial of Estonian National Art Museum.
