18 April 2019, Saxony-Anhalt, Dessau-Roßlau: Flowers bloom on the meadow in front of the consumer building in the Bauhaus settlement of Dessau-Törten, which was designed by Walter Gropius in 1928. After extensive renovation work, the original Bauhaus buildings open before Easter. For the anniversary year 2019 they will receive a new coherent curatorial narrative. The buildings themselves become exhibition objects.

The former Konsumgebäude (bauhaus-dessau.de; adult/concession €2/1) building, once the center for trade and cooperative living on the Törten Estate, today houses an information center and a small permanent local-history exhibition.
