Bauhaus has transformed how art and architecture were (and still are) viewed. The school opened its doors in 1919 in the city of Weimar in central Germany and established new canons for contemporary design.

The Arts School was moved to Dessau in 1925, and it was shut down in 1933 by the National Socialists. Despite the short lifespan, Bauhaus - School of Design has been acclaimed for its distinctive aesthetic and continuing impact on modern and contemporary art.
