The Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung (1979) holds the world’s largest Bauhaus collection. The building is based on a design by Walter Gropius. The building is currently being renovated and supplemented by a new building by Staab Architekten. Visitors are received in the temporary bauhaus-archiv.

The school building (1925/26) by Walter Gropius is regarded internationally as an icon of modern architecture. The Bauhaus experienced its heyday in the functional, minimalist building complex. Today it is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation.

With the Masters’ Houses (1925–26), Walter Gropius implemented his ideas of the New Architecture for the first time in a group of homes. The three pairs of semi-detached houses and the director’s house are regarded around the world as prototypes of modern architecture and rank among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The Bauhaus Museum Dessau was opened on September 8, 2019 to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus. For the first time, the new museum has suitable premises for a comprehensive public presentation of the valuable collection of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation.

With the first construction phase of the Dessau-Törten Housing Estate (1926–28), Walter Gropius put new low-cost production and construction methods to the test. As an experimental housing estate, it is an exemplary model for the serial production of social housing.

The Haus Am Horn was built in 1923 as a model house for the first Bauhaus exhibition in Weimar. It is the first example of Bauhaus architecture built in Weimar and ranks as a prototype of modern construction and living. Today, the UNESCO World Heritage Site is an exhibition venue.

The Neo-Renaissance building was erected in 1869 as one of the first German museum buildings and can look back on an eventful history. The Neues Museum Weimar opened in April 2019 with a permanent presentation of early modern art.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the State Bauhaus founded in Weimar in 1919, the Bauhaus Museum Weimar opened in 2019. Since then, the treasures of the world's oldest Bauhaus collection have been presented in Heike Hanada's minimalist cube.

The ADGB Trade Union School in Bernau is one of the largest Bauhaus ensembles in the world. Today’s UNESCO World Heritage Site was built in 1928–30 under the direction of the second Bauhaus director, Hannes Meyer, with the aid of students from the Dessau Bauhaus.
