original bauhaus Centenary Exhibition 6/9/2019 – 27/1/2020

"original bauhaus" is the centenary exhibition of the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung in cooperation with the Berlinische Galerie

The Bauhaus existed for only 14 years in Germany, but for 100 years its ideas have now been passed on and its products relaunched, imitated and further developed. Marking the centenary of the Bauhaus’s founding, the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung’s exhibition at the Berlinische Galerie is presenting over 1,000 famous, familiar and forgotten Bauhaus originals.

From 6 Sept 2019 to 27 Jan 2020 at the Berlinische Galerie, Berlin.
