The Bauhaus Museum Dessau, opened in 2019, presents the school's rich legacy through a rotating selection of over 1,000 objects from its vast collection. Housed in a modern, cube-like building designed by Spanish architect González Hinz Zabala, the museum offers a chronological journey from the school's founding in Weimar to its Dessau and Berlin years. Exhibits include furniture, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, and architectural models by masters like Marcel Breuer, Josef Albers, and Marianne Brandt. Interactive displays and multimedia stations bring the Bauhaus philosophy to life. The museum's top floor features a 'Bauhaus Stage' area with costumes and set designs. It's an essential complement to visiting the historic Bauhaus building.
