Intermezzi –
changing exhibitions within the overall exhibition
The Intermezzi in the Black Box of the Bauhaus Museum Dessau are temporary exhibitions in the exhibition space. They expand on the presentation of the collection in Versuchsstätte Bauhaus and continue to build on it. On Collecting presents new groups of objects in the collection of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation as well as objects that have not been given a permanent space in the museum. Be Hosted invites objects from international Bauhaus collections as well as curators, artists and designers who deal with themes and objects of Bauhaus modernism. While Experimental Space sets out how the Bauhaus Agents run projects with schools in DessauRoßlau. Here, visitors can try their hands at small experimentation and design tasks.
