Bauhaus buildings and sites you can still visit.

The key locations in Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin, plus other places where Bauhaus work survives.

Berlin

The compressed final chapter of the Bauhaus as a functioning school, and the city where its archival afterlife eventually took institutional form.

Open place
Bernau

The site of the ADGB Trade Union School, a building that demonstrates the architectural seriousness and social ambition of the Hannes Meyer directorship — and that corrects the widespread assumption that the Meyer era was marginal to the Bauhaus story.

Open place
Chicago

The American city where two separate Bauhaus lineages — Moholy-Nagy's design school and Mies van der Rohe's architecture program — took institutional form, revealing how translation differs from duplication.

Open place
Dessau

The city where the Bauhaus became most legible as an institution, an architectural ensemble, and a civic presence — and where it weathered three directorships before political force closed it a second time.

Open place
Weimar

The founding city of the Bauhaus, where a radical experiment in art education took shape amid political hostility, workshop innovation, and a single landmark exhibition that announced the school to the world.
