Die Neue Sammlung was one of the first museums to acquire contemporary Bauhaus works, which are now regarded as icons of modern design. The Design Museum purchased Bauhaus works as early as 1925, the year it was founded, and these now form part of the foundation of the collection. Hereyou can explore the textiles by Anni Albers and Gunta Stölzl, toys by Alma Buscher and Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack and metalwork by Otto Rittweger and Wilhelm Wagenfeld. The Design Museum has recently expanded its collection to include important works by Theodor Bogler, Marcel Breuer, Josef Hartwig, Naum Slutzky and Wilhelm Wagenfeld.
