Take an expedition by yourself or with your family, school class or just a group of friends – the bauhaus bags of the Bauhaus Museum Weimar make it possible. The rucksacks can be borrowed for 5 euros each (plus a 20-euro deposit) at the ticket counter of the museum.

The Bauhaus kids Felix Klee and Brigitte Marcks accompany you to all the important Bauhaus sites in Weimar. They describe what life was like at the world-famous school of design, present experiments with shapes and colours, and show them how to become designers themselves. In your rucksack you’ll also find exciting materials, challenges and stories that can inspire your own creative ambitions.
