50 Years after 50 Years of the Bauhaus 1968

Since 1968 the exhibition was shown in eight additional museums worldwide until 1971. To this day, it is considered one of the most important post–war exhibitions on the Bauhaus and was of the highest significance in terms of cultural policy for the still–young Federal Republic: since at stake was not least the rehabilitation, at international levels, of Germany as a cultural nation in the aftermath of National Socialism. Fifty years after the opening of 50 Years of the Bauhaus, the Württembergischer Kunstverein is undertaking a critical rereading of this exhibition.
