Special Exhibition at the Bauhaus Museum Dessau

5.12.2025 - 31.01.2027: Exhibition "Bakelite | Glaze | Colour"

When, if not now! Such a milestone anniversary is the best occasion to pay tribute to the people without whose donations the collections of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation would not be continuously enriched. The Bauhaus Museum Dessau is showing selected pieces that the foundation has received since the museum opened in 2019. The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of events entitled From the Showcase, featuring public talks and lectures with academics and the donors.
