Rodins »Eva« returns to the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar after successful restoration

»Eva«, designed by August Rodin, was erected in the foyer of the former Art Academy 1912 to portray the free spirit of art and has been a part of the University’s colourful history ever since. Admired, treasured, and the centre of many events, she has become a symbol of togetherness and community at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. She was intentionally destroyed in February 2016.  

Thanks to the numerous donations, »Eva« will now be returned to her rightful place. Join us in celebrating her return in the foyer of the Main Building of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.
