Berlin, Germany: Jewish Museum Berlin/Jüdisches Museum Berlin; things to do

Jewish Museum Berlin/Jüdisches Museum Berlin 


Europe's largest Jewish museum is housed in a stunning zinc-plated building nicknamed "the silver lightning bolt." Interior spaces are intended to disorient visitors, and the empty Holocaust Void in the center represents the world’s great loss from that event. Still, the Jewish Museum Berlin/Jüdisches Museum Berlin  can at times feel cozy. Exhibits center on Judaism and Jewish life, the Holocaust, and the post-World War II rebuilding of Jewish life in Germany.
