Bauhaus Museum Weimar: The Bauhaus comes from Weimar

The Bauhaus comes from Weimar and returns to a new home in spring 2019. In the newly built Bauhaus Museum Weimar, the treasures of the oldest Bauhaus collection in the world will be shown together for the first time. However, the volume not only presents design icons, but also allows a look behind the facade of the Bauhaus myth using a large number of other objects. Not as a museum guide in the classic sense, but as a thematic volume on key issues of the Bauhaus period such as the New Man or the design of everyday life, the official volume on the new Bauhaus Museum Weimar opens up new perspectives on the Bauhaus. Using central aspects of the exhibition as an example, the general question arises then as now: "How do we want to live?" The Bauhaus idea is examined for potential for shaping the present and located as part of a local and global network. In-depth information encourages further thought. The book also sheds light on the architectural concept, construction process and urban planning criteria of Heike Hanada's new museum building.
