Explore the pleasures of the Jewish Museum

The Jewish Museum Berlin is a must see enriching experience for the young traveller looking to become more 'cultured' - offering an insight into the lives and experiences of many profound and influential minds of the time including Albert Einstein and Fritz Haber.


One of the museums main attractions are its unique architecture by Daniel Libeskind, featuring high ceiling hollow rooms throughout both the temporary and permanent exhibitions. Menashe Kadishman's contribution to the museum complements the hollow steel rooms, his 10,000+ iron cut faces represent the irreversible loss of just a fraction of the Jews murdered in Europe.


If you are interested in new experiences then the Jewish Museum may take your fancy. Asides from displaying the more 'formal' history of the Jewish community, some exhibits, such as the one shown below, conjure up a more personal aspect of life within a confining society.



If that doesn't intrigue you, there is a wide range of paintings and sculptures by a variety of Jewish artists that represent the world in which they lived.



The Jewish Museum is located in central Berlin, a five minute walk south of Kochstraße U-Bahn station.
