profile

The Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung studies and presents the history and influence of the Bauhaus, the twentieth century’s most important college of architecture, design and art. Over the course of the decades the Bauhaus-Archiv has built up the world’s largest collection of materials on the subject. To be able to present the collection more comprehensively, the Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin will receive a new building. While construction work is in progress, the museum and archive are closed to visitors. During that time, we cannot grant any loans from our collection. Thank you for your understanding.
