the temporary
// The temporary bauhaus-archiv is open again! Please note the new hygiene measures at the entrance. //
While our museum is being modernised and extended, we welcome visitors at the temporary bauhaus-archiv. Our events programme at the temporary is centred around the Bauhaus legacy as well as current issues of design, architecture and society. Please note that the temporary is not a museum but a project space where we provide information on the new museum building and experiment with new formats of presentation and education. Original objects from our collection cannot, unfortunately, be displayed here for conservational reasons.
The bauhaus-shop at the temporary invites you to browse its selection of Bauhaus and contemporary design objects.

The temporary is situated in the listed landmark Haus Hardenberg, which was built in 1955/1956 by the architect Paul Schwebes and is considered one of the most significant office and commercial buildings of postwar modernism in West-Berlin.
