[Virtual tour] When the Bauhaus School in Dessau closed in 1933 under Nazi pressure, many of its leading artists and architects came to the US and helped shape our cities by introducing their new modern style of architecture and design. Here in New York we proudly live in the presence of Mies van der Rohe’s Seagrams Building, Marcel Breuer’s Whitney Museum on Madison Ave as well as the Walter Gropius co-designed Pan Am Building. MoMA’s first building on 53rd St was consciously designed with Gropius’ Dessau building in mind (as well as the school’s philosophy.) Josef Albers created wonderful public art for some of our lobbies and many of the Bauhaus’s masterpieces can be found in our museums’ collections – we will include architecture, design, fabrics and paintings in our virtual tour around the city!
