In 1976 the Bauhaus Dessau began putting together its own collection, which should bring together specimens of what had been created at the School of Design since 1926. The publication, “Bauhaus Objects”, is a combination of CD-ROM and book. The CD-ROM provides – for the first time – the possibility of digitally accessing essential parts of the collection and numerous biographies of Bauhaus personalities. The accompanying book explains the principles underlying the collection.
