"The new, 7,000-square-foot museum contemplates the life and legacy of Herbert Bayer, an Austrian-American polymath who studied and taught at the famed Bauhaus art school that operated in Germany from 1919 to 1933. Bayer lived in Aspen from 1946 to 1974 and helped shape the then-burgeoning city’s overall look, feel, and post-World War II growth."
