The collection features work from the likes of Mies van der Rohe, Bertrand Goldberg, Marcel Breuer, and Bauhaus-founder Walter Gropius himself...

It's unfortunate that this article doesn't take a moment to call out that Gropius stole a huge number of those photographs from Lucia Moholy: http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/photo-credit-negatives...

The site lists 53 items by Lucia Moholy, so not really a huge part of the collection.

Classic example of what's bad about modern web site design. 1.5MB of javascript and misc overhead with a spinner over a blank page to load < 1KB of text and 5 small thumbnails.

This site is worth a look. It's as beautiful as it has been for over a decade (through a couple of designs at least). Still JS heavy, but loads in less than a second for me.

When I lived in East Germany in 1998/99, I mentioned the Bauhaus in Dassau to my Germans friends (university professors) and they would not have a clue about it.
