Weimarhaus

Weimarhaus is a design museum in Weimar that presents collections related to the Bauhaus movement and showcases architectural developments of the 1920s. The building holds thousands of objects from this innovative period, ranging from furniture to graphics and ceramics produced by the famous art school.

The museum was founded after the Bauhaus school was established in 1919 and preserves the legacy of innovative design principles introduced by Walter Gropius. The collection documents how this art school shaped modern design during the Weimar Republic and beyond.

The building displays works by Bauhaus teachers and students, including pieces by Johannes Itten, Lyonel Feininger, and Marcel Breuer. You can see the practical designs and artistic experiments that came from daily life at this art school.

The building is open from April to September, 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, and from October to March, 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Plan enough time to explore the extensive collection at your own pace.

The collection includes about 13,000 Bauhaus objects that range from everyday household items to experimental artworks. Many visitors overlook that these pieces were actually used in homes and schools of the time, not just displayed in museums.
