Bauhaus Museum Dessau gives the city a purpose-built home for one of the world's most important design movements. Its collection covers furniture, typography, textiles, architecture, teaching exercises, and everyday objects, showing the Bauhaus as a school of practical experimentation rather than just a style label.
It works especially well before or after seeing the Bauhaus Building and the Masters' Houses. The museum supplies the context: how students learned, what workshops produced, and why Dessau became central to modernist design.
