Bauhaus 1919–1933: Workshops for Modernity

This survey is MoMA’s first major exhibition since 1938 on the subject of this famous and influential school of avant‑garde art. Founded in 1919 and shut down by the Nazis in 1933, the Bauhaus brought together artists, architects, and designers in an extraordinary conversation about the nature of art in the age of technology. Aiming to rethink the very form of modern life, the Bauhaus became the site of a dazzling array of experiments in the visual arts that have profoundly shaped our visual world today.
