Almost a hundred years ago, a radical artistic utopia was born in the city of Weimar; Bauhaus. This is a fascinating look at how it still shapes our world today. Against the background of the 100th anniversary BAUHAUS SPIRIT not only tells art history, but also contemporary history. Bauhaus made art, design and architecture political. The result was a spatial art form that wasn't above thinking about the distance between a bathtub and a toilet or the ideal chair. We go back to the beginning and celebrate the cultural history of modern spatial thinking that is as captivating as it is enlightening.
