Bauhaus Archive Museum of Design

The Bauhaus Archive/Museum of Design in Berlin is concerned with the research and presentation of the history and impact of the Bauhaus (1919-1933), the most important school of architecture, design, and art of the 20th century.

It is the most complete existing collection focused on the history of the school and all aspects of its work and is accessible to all. The collection is housed in a building drafted by Walter Gropius, the founder of the school. The Bauhaus Archive presents parts of its collection in a permanent Bauhaus exhibition. Temporary special exhibitions are dedicated to individual artists, or to topical themes in the fields of art, architecture, and modern design.

The holdings of the Bauhaus Archive cover various fields of collection, providing a unique documentation on the history of the Bauhaus, and enabling us to understand the achievements of the school in the domains of art, education, architecture, and design. The extensive collection includes studies from the courses, workshop pieces from all fields of design, architectural plans and maquettes, artistic photography, documents, the photographic archive on the history of the Bauhaus, and the library.
