What it is
The building that Walter Gropius's studio put up in 1926 for the Bauhaus school in Dessau: workshops behind a great glass façade, classrooms, the canteen, the stage and the Atelierhaus, where the students lived. It is the symbol of modern architecture and a World Heritage Site. Inside you see the current exhibition; in 2026 and 2027, one on the building's materials.
