JEWISH MUSEUM, Tour

There are two routes through the Jüdisches Museum. On the one side is the museum collection itself; on the other, you can explore the three axes that make up the building.  

The three underground corridors cover important themes in Jewish history, and exploring them will take you on both a cultural and introspective journey, putting your emotions to a test with a growing sense of unease created by the volumes and geometries of the spaces.

The corridor entitled Exile leads out onto a garden featuring 49 cement columns with wild olives growing on top of them, symbolizing hope.

The Holocaust corridor will take you into a sort of tower, 20 meters high. This cold, dark, enclosed space, with smooth walls and only a slit in the roof to let the light in, aims to make the visitor feel the desperation of the victims of the Shoah.

The corridor of Continuity is designed as a connection between the past and the present, with a steep staircase taking you up to the museum itself....
