The Bauhaus campus museum in Dessau has offered its visitors something new: they can now spend the night in the bedrooms of the former German modernist design school.
Where a famous school once stood, founded in 1919 by a German modernist architect Walter Gropius, is now a museum dedicated to the famous movement. The school was originally located in Weimar, but in 1925 it was moved to Dessau. Visitors can spend the night in 28 rooms that belonged to promising students, including Marcel Breuer, Josef Albers, Erich Consemüller, Herbert Bayer, Franz Ehrlich, Marianne Brandt, Gertrud Arndt, Gunta Stölzl and Anna Albers,... The rooms are reconstructed according to the appearance from 1920, strictly decorated and minimalistically furnished, and only one of them is equipped with original furniture from the golden age of the Bauhaus. Prices start at 35 euros/night for a single room, while a double room costs 60 euros during the weekend.
