The Bauhaus is illustrated with works by Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky who were both teachers at the school. The building has almost 5,000 square metres of exhibition space and about 800 metres of wall space, a surprisingly large capacity concealed beneath the famous steel and glass construction. The spacious glass hall at ground level and sections of the lower-ground floor are used for special exhibitions attracting 100,000 visitors each year. The permanent exhibition is on show in the lower part of the gallery. For those who enjoy sculptures there are a number of works immediately surrounding the gallery as well as in the western sculpture garden.
Visitors gain access to the garden on request.
Here, a variety of important works ranging from figurative to abstract representation can be viewed in particularly pleasant and relaxed surroundings.
