Jüdisches Museum Berlin

In the location's words:

The Jewish Museum Berlin is one of the most outstanding institutions in the European museum landscape. With its permanent and temporary exhibitions, its collections, its events program, the W. Michael Blumenthal Academy, and its digital and educational offerings, the museum is a vibrant place for dialogue and reflection on Jewish history and the present in Germany. ANOHA, the children's world of the JMB, tells the story of Noah's Ark as a playful experience for children.

Our exhibitions, events and diverse program address a broad audience from Germany and around the world. Our collections are constantly growing, also thanks to many donors from Germany and abroad.

A special focus is on educational work: the extensive educational program, the research opportunities in the library and archive, and the program of events are aimed at children, young people, and adults. In addition to guided tours and workshops, there are lectures and conferences, concerts and readings, and an annual summer of culture. Our digital programs are also particularly diverse, including the museum's website, the JMB app, diverse online features on Jewish topics, online publications, online collections, and a media library.

The W. Michael Blumenthal Academy's programs provide a platform for discussion and reflection on the diverse issues raised by the work of a museum of German-Jewish history and culture. It is also a place for encounters and cooperation, where not only Jewish perspectives but also those of other religious and ethnic minorities find space.

The museum is located in the heart of Berlin, in the Kreuzberg district, not far from Checkpoint Charlie and the former Berlin Wall. The famous museum building by Daniel Libeskind has long since become a Berlin landmark. It is part of the architectural ensemble of the Jewish Museum Berlin, which also consists of an old building from the Baroque period, the W. Michael Blumenthal Academy and the ANOHA children's world.
