Jewish Museum Berlin

ArchitectureArtHistoryClosed todayFreeHallesches Tor (U1, U3, U6)

Das Jewish Museum Berlin widmet sich der Geschichte des jüdischen Lebens in Deutschland vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart. Seine Dauerausstellung – bei freiem Eintritt zugänglich – erstreckt sich durch den 2001 eröffneten, mit Zink verkleideten Zickzack-Bau von Daniel Libeskind. Dessen leere Räume („Voids“), Achsen sowie der Holocaust Tower und der Garden of Exile machen die Architektur selbst zu einem eindringlichen Teil der deutsch-jüdischen Geschichtserzählung. Der Zugang erfolgt über das barocke Altbau-Gebäude, das Wechselausstellungen Raum gibt; direkt gegenüber lädt ANOHA, die Kinderwelt des Museums, Familien zu Entdeckungen ein.
