Bauhaus Dessau, Modern architecture museum in Dessau-Roßlau, Germany.

Walter Gropius designed and constructed this architectural complex between 1925 and 1926 to house the Bauhaus school after its relocation from Weimar.
The building represents the fundamental principles of modernist architecture through its industrial materials, functional design, and integration of art with technology.
Visitors can explore exhibition spaces, workshops, and original furniture designs through guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the week.
