Bauhaus Archive
About

The Bauhaus Archive / Museum für Gestaltung in Berlin stands as the world's most significant repository for the history and influence of the Bauhaus, the pivotal 20th-century school of architecture, design, and art. The institution's extensive collection originated in 1960, spearheaded by German art historian Hans Maria Wingler, who began gathering material from the Bauhaus's scattered legacy with the support of its founder, Walter Gropius, and other former members. The core of the collection encompasses a vast array of works across all facets of Bauhaus creativity, including over 10,000 architectural plans, 10,000 graphic items, a photo archive with 70,000 photographs, along with a wide range of objects and furniture from every phase of the school's development. It also proudly holds the private estate of Walter Gropius, providing invaluable insights into his work and the school's ethos.
