The image database offers you the opportunity to search online for objects in the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation’s collection. The collection is digitised on an ongoing basis. In addition to a collection of photographs of the historic Bauhaus and its work, the collection also includes extensive visual material on the history and development of today’s Bauhaus Dessau.
