The Laboratory at the Bauhaus Museum Weimar is both a design lab and “creativity station” in one. By means of various experiments, you can discover how design processes impact our daily lives. We begin with questions formerly posed by the historical Bauhaus: How do we want to live together? How do we wish to present ourselves and what should our future look like? You will find a wide variety of materials and modern techniques for your experiments – from paper cutters to 3-D scanners to augmented reality.
