Hi, my name's Rick, and I'm your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I'd like to welcome you to one of the Wonders of the World: the Jüdisches Museum.
The Jüdisches Museum, or Jewish Museum, is a celebration of the history of German Jews.
It is one of the most popular museums in Berlin, drawing in some 700,000 visitors a year.
The visitor route comprises two buildings, skillfully linked with one another. The entrance is located on Lindenstrasse, in a magnificent Baroque building designed in 1735 by the German, Philipp Gerlach, as the seat of the Supreme Court of Prussia. From here, a steep, dark staircase leads to the modern building, designed by the American architect, Daniel Libeskind.
The entire outside of the structure is covered in zinc panels that intersect at sharp, acute angles, allowing light in through long, narrow windows reminiscent of the arrow slits in medieval castles.
Inside, there are three intersecting corridors known as "axes", which create a sort of labyrinth. Each axis is dedicated to an important theme in Jewish history: Exile, the Holocaust and Continuity.
The Jewish Museum first opened its doors to visitors in 2001. Just six years later, Libeskind decided to add a glass-covered inner courtyard to the Baroque building…
