We have suddenly started to draw near to the end of 2019, a year that has been full of celebrations surrounding the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus, the school of arts founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar in 1919.
As it is renown as one of the most influential educational establishments in the fields of architecture, art and design, we wanted to take you back to the classroom and share these photographs of life at the Bauhaus. Enjoy!
