At the birthplace of modernism: At the Bauhaus Museum Weimar, you will encounter the roots of the design concept - and discover how the ideas from 1919 still shape our intentions, building and coexistence today.
The Bauhaus Museum Weimar in the Thuringian city of classics is a unique museum dedicated to the influential school of art, design and architecture founded here by Walter Gropius in 1919. With a collection that is unique in the world - around 13,000 objects from the Bauhaus teaching and workshop - the museum offers a deep insight into a movement that significantly influenced the design of the 20th century.
The striking new building from 2019 with its clear cube design and spacious room structure itself reflects the principles of Bauhaus aesthetics: functionality, reduction, precision. On around 2,000 m² of exhibition space, visitors can wander through themes such as "How do we want to live together?", "Experiment and everyday life" and "Art meets technology" on five levels.
The presentation combines original objects - including furniture by Marcel Breuer, jugs by Marianne Brandt and works by Paul Klee and László Moholy-Nagy - with interactive mediation formats that allow visitors to discover the design processes for themselves. The museum is thus not only conceived as an exhibition, but also as a place for reflection and participation.
A visit to the Bauhaus Museum Weimar means experiencing history - and thinking about the future. Architecture, design and society come together here, in a museum that is itself part of modernity and at the same time opens a window to tomorrow.
