About
The Jewish Museum Berlin sits at Lindenstraße 9-14 in the Kreuzberg area of the city, and it is one of the best-known museums in Germany. It is also known in German as the Jüdisches Museum Berlin. The building itself is a reason to visit: it was designed by Daniel Libeskind, and its striking, angular form is part of the experience before you even reach the exhibitions.
What you will find inside
The museum documents around 2000 years of German-Jewish history. Its exhibitions cover Jewish culture and daily life, as well as the persecution Jewish communities faced over the centuries. The subject is presented in depth, so the visit suits people who want to spend time with the material rather than pass through quickly.

Because the museum covers a long and difficult history, allow a good part of a day, and check opening times and admission details with the museum before you go, as these can change.
The wider area
The museum is located in Berlin, a city with a dense mix of historic sites, galleries and neighbourhoods to explore. Pairing a visit here with a walk through the surrounding streets gives you a fuller picture of the city beyond the museum walls.
