Harvard Museum published a digitized version of a collection of items related to Bauhaus — one of the most influential educational institutions for design and architecture in the 20th century, Open Culture writes.

The archive includes, among others, the works of Wassily Kandinsky, Lyonel Feininger, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer and other artists who have studied or taught at Bauhaus.

For convenience, the items from the collection can be sorted by type, themes, name of the author, or time of creation.

Bauhaus was founded in Germany in early 19th century and existed only for 13 years (between 1919 and 1933), but became widely popular for the new approach to architecture and design during this time: the teachers at the school offered solutions that were ahead of their time, based on simplicity and functionality.
