Description

Let the largest Jewish museum in Europe impress you with its symbolic architecture and exceptional exhibitions. Discover how the zig-zag-shaped building designed by Daniel Libeskind creates its own language for Jewish history in Germany, with slanting walls, sharp angles, and gaping voids. NEW Exhibition Inventories — The Legacy of Salman Schocken The Jewish Museum Berlin (JMB) invites US author Joshua Cohen to explore the cultural legacy of the publisher and department-store entrepreneur Salman Schocken. Through books and objects from the JMB collections, Joshua Cohen comments on the history of Salman Schocken’s publishing house, which he takes as a vantage point for a present-day perspective on culture and capital, department stores and museums – and, not least, all manner of (re)acquisition and belonging. Admission to the exhibition is free. 11. Juli bis 23. Nov 2025 Defiance — Jewish Women and Design in the Modern Era The exhibition reveals the important role that Jewish women designers played in German society’s process of eman­cipation and modernization in the early twentieth century—as women, as Jews, and as artists. Featuring exhibits by more than sixty designers, this is the world’s first collective exhibition on the theme. It brings together pioneering women who battled social marginali­zation to attain prominent positions in their own domains—until the Nazi regime destroyed their careers and lives. Some managed to escape and start afresh abroad, but almost all have re­mained excluded from the history of German art and culture up to the present day. Through their works, the Jewish Museum Berlin gives new visibility to their forgotten biographies and their artistic and entre­preneurial achieve­ments. Visitors to the exhibition will en­counter a broad spectrum of design and craft techniques, from gold­smithing and textiles, ceramics and wood carving, to fashion design and graphics. For an optimal exhibition experience, we recommend that you bring your own headphones. Alongside the treasures of the museum’s collection including everyday objects and art, there are video and audio installations. There are also interactive stations that provide surprising insights. The museum is located centrally in the vibrant district of Berlin-Kreuzberg and is within walking distance from Checkpoint Charlie. With your JMB ticket, you are eligible to receive reduced-rate admission to the neighboring Berlinische Galerie on the day of your museum visit and the two following days. The Berlinische Galerie is only a 5 min stroll away from the JMB. p>
