Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv, Art gallery and cultural center on Dizengoff Street, Israel
The Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv is an art gallery and cultural center on Dizengoff Street dedicated to modernist architecture and Israeli contemporary design. The spaces house exhibitions, a specialized bookstore, and a design shop that together offer insight into how modern architecture functions and how local designers work today.
The center was established in 2000 to raise awareness of Tel Aviv's architectural heritage, particularly the Bauhaus movement that shaped the city during the 20th century. It grew from a desire to document these building styles and make them accessible to future generations.
The center reveals how modernist design shaped Tel Aviv's identity and continues to influence how the city looks today. You can see how Bauhaus principles remain visible in the everyday architecture around you.
Visitors can join guided tours in multiple languages or use audio guides with maps to explore architectural landmarks across the city. It helps to allow extra time for browsing the bookstore and design shop if you want to understand more about modernist forms and contemporary Israeli design.
The center documents the White City, a UNESCO-recognized neighborhood containing hundreds of Bauhaus buildings that together represent a rare example of an entire city built in this style. Many of these structures were built between the 1920s and 1950s and continue to shape the daily cityscape today.
