On 19 September 2025, we will celebrate the start of the “Come to the construction site!” festival. From 19 to 21 September 2025, we invite the public to experience the new museum building designed by Staab Architekten up close. A varied programme featuring architectural tours, music, talks, artistic installations, performances and the Bauhaus Lab will provide a glimpse into the future of our institution.
