 2019 marks the [centennial of the Bauhaus](https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.bauhaus100.com_the-2Dcentenary_&d=DwMFAg&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=uC_Juv7qsG1Yv0fKb4HR_m09pLi7hb8Zy9BgDWVfbdI&m=GusEsL2NrQoIJDWuhpxaIfrjnbhwv3qvim2GPjqphKM&s=e61X59o3RXXuLHLEU1Be3BMlD5rt94AdarFwyeXk_4I&e=), and Harvard is celebrating! The [Bauhaus](https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.theartstory.org_movement-2Dbauhaus.htm&d=DwMFAg&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=uC_Juv7qsG1Yv0fKb4HR_m09pLi7hb8Zy9BgDWVfbdI&m=GusEsL2NrQoIJDWuhpxaIfrjnbhwv3qvim2GPjqphKM&s=IFqS6CHk593DOgxFsL4LsxYrSBtW_cF9mCWClMkP8ew&e=), considered the twentieth century's most influential school of art and design, has deep connections to Harvard, including the Law School. Did you know that Harvard's first example of modern architecture is on the HLS campus and was designed by [Walter Gropius](https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__en.wikipedia.org_wiki_Walter-5FGropius&d=DwMFAg&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=uC_Juv7qsG1Yv0fKb4HR_m09pLi7hb8Zy9BgDWVfbdI&m=GusEsL2NrQoIJDWuhpxaIfrjnbhwv3qvim2GPjqphKM&s=7ayEdv3cytO1pktqARvQ9ylYV3e1IM3YF1dsLmGt0Oc&e=), the founder of the Bauhaus? Or that Gropius commissioned Bauhaus pioneers to create site-specific artwork for the buildings?

 If you are in the Boston area, come explore HLS's connection to the Bauhaus and its role in shaping campus life. The exhibit, curated by Karen Beck and Lesley Schoenfeld, is on view daily 9 to 5 through 31 July 2019 in the Caspersen Room, Langdell Hall. A sampling of the exhibit is [online](https://exhibits.law.harvard.edu/creating-community-harvard-law-school-and-bauhaus).
