The world-famous Bauhaus museum, based at the design school’s former campus in Dessau, Germany is offering people the chance to stay in the dormitories once used by the innovational institute.

Guests can stay in the school’s Studio Building, which was once occupied by promising architecture and design students in the 1930s.

One of the rooms on the site has been reconstructed to resemble its original state, while the other dorms in the 28-room building have been decorated by works of art and design created by their original occupants.

Each of the rooms measures 24-square-metres (258 sq ft) and is retained in the minimalistic style once championed by the progressive school during its operation until 1933.

Single rooms are being offered out at a reasonable rate of €35 (US$47, £29) per night, while double rooms at weekends cost €60 (US$81, £50) per night, with guests being required to use the site’s communal bathrooms like students once had to do.

Bauhaus is responsible for nurturing some of the 20th century’s leading designers, including the likes of Marcel Breuer, Josef Albers, Erich Consemüller, Herbert Bayer and Gertrud Arndt.

The school was originally founded in 1919 by Modernist German architect Walter Gropius, with its campus originally constructed in Weimar.

Having moved from Weimar to Dessau, the school’s iconic campus was constructed in a modernist style and remained open to students before the school moved on again to its final home in Berlin in 1932.

The campus site at Dessau is open to be viewed by the public through guided tours, while there are also a host of exhibitions on show at the museum throughout the year.
