The world-famous Bauhaus school, founded in Weimar in 1919, created a revolution in art, design, and architecture in the early 20th century. The list of students and teachers of this influential avant-garde school, which shaped the modern world as we know it, reads like the "Who's Who" of arts and architecture; from Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Lyonel Feininger, to Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe.
