Bauhaus-Museum Weimar — Attraction in Weimar

The museum is disappointing on multiple levels. The exhibition is basically a hodgepodge of Bauhaus design products and original documents with very few and very short texts and an app to guide you through. No attempt is made to explain what thoughts and concepts guided the designs - or how they compared to contemporary alternatives. This lack of context leaves you with a genius cult of Mr Gropius et al - and amazingly the curators even include under the umbrella of Bauhaus designs by other modernists. Poul Henningsen whose lamp is on display had for example nothing to do with Bauhaus! The attempts to bring things up to today - a "tiny house" is exhibited among other things - are gimmicky and led by superficial criticisms of consumerism. On the other hand a display finds nothing wrong in defaming a fired Bauhausian for his "kommunistische Umtriebe" (no quotation marks) - an expression that sounds like it's right out of a Weimar era right wing judge's court order.

The Bauhaus Museum in Weimar is an absolute gem for anyone interested in modern design and architecture. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, showcasing the pioneering works of the Bauhaus movement in a way that is both informative and inspiring. The museum's architecture itself is a nod to the movement's principles, with its clean lines and functional design. The staff are knowledgeable and welcoming, adding to the overall excellent experience. Whether you're a design enthusiast or just curious about the history of modern art, this museum is a must-visit. A true highlight of Weimar! PS. The VR ( Virtual reality) tour ( free of charge) on the basement is highly recommend! Thanks a lot to the team...
