The museum, founded in 2001, is operated by the Otto Haesler Foundation . It was founded in 1999 by the city council of Celle in order to ideally support and maintain the artistic and scientific life's work of the architect. The museum is located in the washing, bathing and heating house of the Blumläger Feld settlement built by Otto Haesler in 1931 . In a residential block of the settlement there are further museum rooms within apartments, which have been preserved in their original form and in which furnishings from different periods are shown. These are a workers 'apartment in its original condition from 1930, a refugee accommodation from 1945 and a workers' apartment in the condition of the 1950s.

In connection with the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus in 1919, the museum was modernized over several months in 2018 and 2019.
