Guided tour in English in the exhibition Bauhaus100. Programme for the Now
This exhibition is not an introduction into the history of the Bauhaus – above all, it is meant to present those distinctive, ever-present artistic positions in which the effect of the Bauhaus approach can be discovered. Besides the original ideas and works evoked by pictures, objects and references, the exhibition is an array of associated works by almost fifty contemporary artists.

Just a hundred years ago, in 1919, Walter Gropius founded the Weimar Bauhaus, the most important source and milestone of contemporary art, an art workshop and school. Its theory and practice inspired a number of subsequent art movements and approaches, and its original program offered even more: the aesthetic reform of life from everyday life to art. This selection is a kind of attempt to look back: rethink and recall this unique modernist utopia from a contemporary perspective.
