Over the past 180 years, 42 Washington Mews, the present home of Deutsches Haus, has experienced a history that reflects the evolution of Greenwich Village. Through original artworks, photographs, and historic documents, The Story of a Haus will recount the tale of the continuous transformation of the building: from a horse stable, to the sculpture studio of artists Paul Manship, Gaston Lachaise, and Robert Ingersoll Aitken, leading up to the present-day Deutsches Haus, New York’s leading institution for culture and language of the German-speaking world. Deutsches Haus is celebrating its 35-year history in this quaint landmark building, which has seen such fascinating figures as Charlie Chaplin, Jack Dempsey, John Singer Sargent, Lincoln Kirstein, Christiana Morgan, Helmut Schmidt, and Günter Grass walk in and out of its doors.

Please note: This event is fully booked!
