Bauhaus Archive

It collects art pieces, items, documents and literature which relate to the Bauhaus School (1919–1933), and puts them on public display.

Modifying the plans for the location beside the Landwehrkanal, political decisions and financial restrictions delayed things.

In 2005 it served as an outdoor set for the science fiction action films V for Vendetta and Æon Flux.

In 2005, the jury chaired by Wolfgang Lorch (Saarbrücken) awarded first prize to the design of Japanese firm SANAA.

The Bauhaus archive looks after works by Lyonel Feininger, Johannes Itten, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, László Moholy-Nagy, Werner Drewes, Gunta Stölzl and Oskar Schlemmer.
