The visitors’ service team will be happy to assist you on site. Please use the bell at the entrance to Gropius House, Ebertallee 59.

Accessibility “Bauhaus for everyone”

The historic Bauhaus buildings are not as barrier-free as the Bauhaus Museum Dessau, which opened in 2019, due to provisions under monument law and conservation restrictions.

The Bauhaus Museum Dessau has been tested and certified with the seal of approval for accessibility in accordance with the criteria of the Reisen für Alle (Travelling for Everyone) project.

Despite this certification, however, we are still in the middle of the process of becoming a barrier-free, inclusive cultural venue for everyone.

Our visitors’ service team will be happy to advise you on all the details and plan your individual visit with you:
