Jewish Museum Berlin

ArchitectureArtHistoryClosed todayFreeHallesches Tor (U1, U3, U6)

Le Jewish Museum Berlin retrace l'histoire de la vie juive en Allemagne, du Moyen Âge à nos jours. Son exposition permanente, accessible gratuitement, prend place dans le bâtiment en zigzag de titane et de zinc conçu par Daniel Libeskind et inauguré en 2001. Ses espaces vides, ses axes, sa Holocaust Tower et son Garden of Exile font de l'architecture elle-même un récit poignant du destin judéo-allemand. L'entrée s'effectue par l'ancien bâtiment baroque, qui accueille les expositions temporaires, tandis que les familles peuvent découvrir ANOHA, l'univers dédié aux enfants, situé juste en face.
