BAUHAUS DESSAU
During 1919 in Weimar, the academy of fine arts including the former school of arts and crafts under the leadership of Walter Gropius turned into The Bauhaus. In this school all artistic disciplines – sculpture, painting, arts and crafts and manual trades started to be tought as integral components of a new art of building.
Since 1926 the Bauhaus school had it´s new home in Dessau, where they also built the Master´s Houses, individually designed by the Masters Moholny-Nagy/ Feininger, Mucha/Schlemmer and Kandinsky/Klee. After serious damages during WW 2, the Bauhaus re-opened in 1986 as a Centre for Design.

1994 the Bauhaus turned into a foundation with three departments: workshop, collection and the academy. We offer to organize individually guided tours through the school and bring you to the Master«s Houses and other buildings in town, which were built by some of the most famous Bauhaus architects. As Moses Mendelssohn was born here, there is the Moses Mendelssohn Center in one of the Bauhaus buildings.
