Jewish Museum
Although relatively new the Jewish Museum in Lindenstrasse has
already gained an international reputation for its significant
architecture and unique exhibitions that bring history alive. The
bulk of the museum is housed in a windowless and doorless
steel-clad, silver building, designed by Daniel Libeskind, sited
alongside the yellow Baroque edifice of the Berlin Museum. Visitors
enter the Jewish Museum through the Berlin Museum to explore the
exhibition rooms, which are clustered around a main axis void,
designed to signify the empty and invisible aspects of Jewish
history.
