Tom MaesNovember 30, 2015Yes, the collection on display is fairly small (a museum extension is coming), but the excellent free audio tour and low €5 entrance more than make up for it. Must visit for any Bauhaus fan.
Brian StraussJuly 10, 2017Loved this. Exceptionally interesting for all modern art and design lovers, and a very manageable sized private collection allowing you to spend plenty of time on each piece. Excellent audio guide.
Utkarsh SengarSeptember 11, 2016An underrated attraction in Berlin, it's a must visit museum. Get the audio guide and spend an hour here. Gives you insights into the Bauhaus movement of the 1930s
Cecilie SchæferAugust 25, 2016Definitely go for the audio guide, listen and read! I was amazed! So if you need some motivation and inspiration- go to this museum! I still think of sentences from that place!
Megan AllisonJanuary 10, 2017Small but impactful. Do the Museum der Dinge (Werkbundarchiv) before this one to really round out your understanding of the progression of thought in 20th C. design. Free wifi and fun gift shop here.
Clara WuJune 26, 2015go because you're in Germany and its Bauhaus. that should be good enough. collection is on the smaller side, but good. free audio guide and great cafe!
Harv NagraOctober 13, 2013Great to learn about the history of the Bauhaus. I'd highly recommend the free audioguide for more context on the architecture and furniture exhibits in particular.
TreFebruary 16, 2017Small, but some interesting exhibits there about this seminal art movement. Worth a visit if you like design :)
Ric SanteuginiApril 5, 2015Small, but impeccable and good curated. The cafe is a pleasant place to hang out for a few minutes whilst having a coffee with carrot cake
Joe CooperAugust 23, 2014Great art, great design and a great place to kill an hour or so (it's pretty small). Also has the best museum shop in Berlin.
Thiago G.October 16, 2013It's small, and no pictures allowed. However, it's a nice presentation on the history and concepts of Bauhaus. Get the audio-guide device.
Timo SAugust 5, 2017The building itself is interesting to see. The museum is much smaller than one might thought. Very nice museum shop and cafe, which serves even lunch.
Gabriela MeirinhoJanuary 7, 2016It is a small museum, but really interesting! The audio guide is included with the ticket and the museum store has very nice things!
(((ekin)))September 30, 2015Great place to learn about the history of the Bauhaus movement and their approach to teaching art, industrial design, functionalism and urbanization
Essie WareMarch 22, 2018best place on this planet if you are interested in the bauhaus and its influence on modern design
Denise Van de WalleAugust 13, 2017Small but interesting museum. Entrance €8 but audioguide is free and worth it. There is also a shop and food & drinks
Ceren TopcuFebruary 18, 2016the most uptight and unfriendly museum staff I have ever communicate. I don't think it fits to bauhaus. very good museum though!
Guido SteuselAugust 3, 2015It's NICE With a good audiotour but within an hour your done! (7 euro adults) but is is cool AND has WiFi
The Travel MagazineFebruary 17, 2014Currently, the museum’s collection is much larger than the exhibition space, and only 35% of the collection is on display. Read more
Eduardo AssunçãoDecember 29, 2015Smaller than I expected. You can cover everything in less than two hours. Try the pastries downstairs.
Annix L.April 3, 2016Compact museum, good to get an overview of the Bauhaus school. Nice little shop also.
Zuriñe EchanizJune 3, 2015Please note this is not rate as a museum, small archive with great information about the basics of the Bauhaus. The audioguide is a MUST.
KyzeMarch 19, 2016The collection was pretty okay, but disappointingly small. You can calmly view everything in under an hour. Free audio guide if you leave your ID or €20. You absolutely cannot take any pictures.
Rowan WernhamAugust 9, 2014Great (but reasonably compact) collection. Get the audio guide and listen to the stories of Bauhaus teaching methodology.
Stefans PavlovskisDecember 10, 2015Amazing museum and definitely worth checking out. It is free for persons under 14.
Ariadna BMarch 19, 2016A bit disappointing. There's not much to see and it's a rather small place. The security staff was a bit annoying, asking everyone not to take pictures when they're were just looking at their phones.
Fernando MoraJuly 4, 2017Great museum to understand bauhaus movement. A hidden jewel in Berlin, not very frequented by tourists.
Mr. MartiniMarch 14, 2013Amazing experience through the movement. Don't forget the "free" audio guide. / | O
Thais VieiraJanuary 18, 2014Buitiful building created by Gropius, but I tought the exibition would be better, with more objects. You will hear the story in the audio.
Freddie HarrisonFebruary 14, 2016Not the biggest museum in Berlin, but definitely cool. Get the audio guide!
Didem CakarMarch 10, 2013A must see place, especially if youre interested in design.. Visit the Museum Shop as well.
Astrid HumerfeltJuly 27, 2015Nice museum. The Helene Binet exhibition is beautiful. Great shop, too.
Scottie MilagroOctober 19, 2014Small but packs a punch. Great little museum with some cool, inspiring pieces.
Alina RydbeckFebruary 8, 2016Check the gift shop and don't forget to buy one of their posters. Really nice.
MatasJune 23, 2012The museum's shop is one of the best places to buy presents for your design-hungry friends and family.
Fleur AugustinusJanuary 18, 2014cafe with goid coffee, sandwiches and salads, great shop for design presents
Anthony EllsworthDecember 21, 20151€ for a locker (backpack you have to) and need ID or 20€ deposit for free audio guide.
Michal SubelSeptember 1, 2013A bit disappointing. Other than a few chairs and few models of buildings, not that much exhibits. Very focused on the history of the school
