Constructed in 1976, the Bauhaus Archive/Museum of Design has unique modern architectural features that have become something of a Berlin landmark. The museum is dedicated to the Bauhaus, the 20th century's most important school of art, architecture and design.
The Bauhaus is one of Walter Gropius' later works. Gropius originally planned it for the city of Darmstadt, but it was eventually built in Berlin, albeit in a modified form.
The permanent collection features architecture, furniture, ceramics, metalwork, photography, stage pieces and student work from the Preliminary Course, as well as works created by the school's most famous teachers, Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky.
