Berlin has many great things to see and do, Sadly this Museum is not one of them, Very tired looking museum, Grumpy attendants. They have an audio guide which you may use but too be perfectly honest after the first 5 minutes you'll probably hand it back in and leave, Whatever you do DO NOT take young children. I've seen...

Great experience. I didn't know anything about the Bauhaus movement before I went to this museum, just saw the Itten-Klee exhibition; first of all I was seduced by the works displayed, then I really was interested by the explanations and by the building itself. Well, it was a great moment while I was in Berlin. Everyone's got to see this.

A fair walk from Nollendorfstrasse underground - we made a particular effort to visit this attraction. This is the museum I was so looking forward to on my holiday, and I was sorely disappointed as I dragged my poor sister along telling her how fab it was going to be. The museum is tiny - just one room. Although I... More

As an interior architecture student in 3rd year, it was a great honor to see the Bauhaus - the birthplace of modern architecture. Awesome! But don't book a guided tour unless you speak German!

Relunctanty dad dragged us along to this museum, so i did not have high expectations. I myself found the materials and objects less interesting but i thought the social dimension was fun to think about - how unique it was for its time, what the bauhaus school was like and how the designs were challenging ideas in just about any...

The shop is great and so reasonably priced; great books which might cost double this amount in Britain were 10 euros! Also some of the little toys and trinkets are very good quality. The museum was about the right size for a break as we walked up to the Tiergarten.

The chairs, architecture and sketches were lovely. Was a little disappointed in the range of goods in the shop with many contemporary items in the Bauhaus style but not many things from THE days except a wonderful table lamp I couldn't afford

I really enjoyed this museum but I am a fan of Bauhaus art. A small collection so the visit was not as tiring as other museums. Lovely green space next to a river to eat lunch too.
