Jewish Museum Berlin in Berlin

Great and artistic museum with wonderful creativity.

absolutely great, focused so much more on jewish history previous to naziism which was so insightful, and the exhibits were displayed and presented in such an impactful way, just an absolute necessity to visit in berlin. it’s free entry as well so you can spend however long in there you want guilt free.

This museum is free. It is better to make a reservation on line. So you can directly enter the museum without waiting outside!

A perfect experience. This is a space created respectfully and with care and humanity.

Very interesting museum. The information is overwhelming. You probably need different visits to absorb everything.Also the architecture of the museum is very beautiful and special. It is a must see.

Fantastic visual and audio presentations of what Judaism is about and what it was like to be a Jew in the 20s, 30s and 49s in Berlin. Appropriately dark and dismal as the winding path of the audio-guided tour goes on and the Master Plan gradually is revealed, this is a museum for all faiths...very educational and enlightening.

Incredible experience, even for non-museum people. You find yourself inside and interacting with a huge work of conceptual architecture, not just viewing the exhibitions. The exhibitions themselves are delightfully interactive, high-tech, and multisensory.

It is the most emotional museum Ive ever been. It is incredible how architecture can touch you emotionally by creating spaces in which you experience loss, emptiness, persecution by simply manipulation the walls that involve you

This was a very full experience. The app & notes were very helpful for a better understanding about the design & intention of the architect. The content was informative & educational...

Firstly the architecture of the building is some thing special. The contents of the museum is informative, well presented (mixed media, fantastic data visualisations with dig-downs; truly an exemplar for the use of educational data-science). The content is, as expected, emotionally challenging at times, to give justice to the museum and its contents set aside at least 2.5 hours. Its free, reserve tickets ahead of time. Audio guides can be done with phone. There is an "airport style security check" for dangerous items on entry.

By far the most impressive museum Ive ever been to. Through architecture, the museum has managed to encapsulate and relay feelings that most of us 21st century people will never experience. In moments the museum took our words away, allowing us to fully feel the message and feel connected to those who came before us.The museum is free to enter, located conveniently close to public transport and is definitely worth a visit for every who wants to get in touch with the people history talks about.

The architecture and art together with documents tell the sad and terrible history of the Holocaust respectfully. It is emotionally shocking and at the same time the experience triggered in.me reflection and sadness.

Awesome place with historical marks. I felt pathetic for the Jews.

One absolutely have to do in Berlin. Such important history to know about. Really interesting history and a intressant way to lead your way through the museum.Meet with the manager and what a lovely person it is with a lot of ambition to the museum.👍😊

Amazing interactive exposition with a great App (you can download it to your phone and listen to it while walking in the museum). There is also a cafe inside.

I visited this museum with my friend whos an architect, that made my experience really exceptional as this museum is all about the details. Id suggest taking some time to read about it and how/why Daniel Libeskind designed its walls, inclined floor and all those cracks in the walls.The staff in this museum were friendly and really helpful and they all speak English

By far one of the best museum Ive ever visited. Every room you enter brings more enlightenment of how Jewish people have suffered in the past. Alongside this it also shows how theyve overcome adversity, stay strong, keep their faith and is educational in the sense of Jewish culture. The museum itself is also a joy, you have to see it to truly understand it. Highly recommend visiting and set aside a whole day as it will take the whole day to take everything in.

Absolutely loved the architecture and the curation , display through out the museum.Not a minute to get bored .It is one of the finest contemporary museums in the world.

A very interesting approach to go very limited with things to look at but rather allow you to feel and connect on different levels. Really like how out of place one felt when migrating and how easy it was to loose you footing; how quickly one felt insecure. Didnt like the %age stuff too much as the numbers do need more context to have meaning than what was given. Still, very impressive and well worth the visit.

This wasnt what I was expecting. The museum is very modern and contemporary. Unfortunately, we ran out if time to view everything that the museum had to offer.

A must-see for Berlin. You need a few hours here, so be prepared to take your time as you walk through and learn. There’s a balance of history before and after WWII, so it’s not just about oppression.

Is not a typical museum, is an experience. I love that is not focused only on telling you the story but makes you feel different things with experiences, and also has a great teaching area about Judaism

I was quite underwhelmed. Yes it was great architecture; but for a museum located in an important area for Jewish history I expected a lot more. It seemed like museums on the other side of the world (like Buenos Aires, which I rated 5*have better explanations of the holocaust and more meaningful collections on display. Head elsewhere if looking to expand your knowledge on the holocaust or understand the impact on Jewish people from the war.

The building by Daniel Libeskind is impressive and gives very beautiful and serene views. The exhibition gives a very broad view over the history of Jews in a very interactive way. And the very helpful and friendly supervisors make it a must see

Interesting atmosphere and mood. The exhibition materials were bit unamusing. Worth seeing if you get a free ticket, as students at least have that perk. Museum was not crowded on Thursday afternoon.

Good museum. Architecture is amazing inside. Not really focused on the holocaust, but more the life of jewish people in Germany then and now.

This was a fantastic free museum. There’s loads to see. It’s really well put together and designed. There’s a free app with a tour to help you round. The audio didn’t always work but the text info was great. Definitely worth a visit when In Berlin.

This museum deals with the full history of the Jews in Germany culminating in the horror of the Holocaust/Shoah. It takes a very different approach compared to most linear histories. There are areas to reflect upon what has been presented to you and areas where all is "in your face". As meaningful as the Memorial to the Murdered and really worth a visit.

Sad and informative.... Completely worth going to take it in...

Fantastically designed museum that captures the history of the Jewish population across the times in Germany.The installations are very modern and detailed. You can expect to learn about the complete history of Jews in Germany from Jews of the Worms all the way to the present day.The building itself is spectacularly designed to reflect Jewish history in Germany. There is also plenty of information about the design of the building so that people (like me who cant comprehend design conceptscan fully appreciate all the work that went into its construction.The temporary exhibits are also worth catching!!

Really interesting place to visit. The architecture is amazing. Interactive and good for everyone. I will recommend this to my friends.

Very powerful experience. The building alone, the spaces and voids it creates, are worth the time spent contemplating them and the horrors we cant allow ourselves to forget.

Wow! What a unique building. Amazing architecture. You really get a sense of being lost and emptiness. There’s no much light coming in and the walls are cold from concrete. There’s a room called the void - weird but remarkable as art.Really a place worth seeing when in Berlin!

Museum initially seemed small and fairly light on exhibitions and materials but soon you realize just how much there is to go through and read, watch and listen. This is not just a museum for what happend to the jews during ww2 but also how they lived, their history, their beliefs. Highly recommended to come here.

So far the best museum in Berlin related to jewish history and topics of war !Unfortunately the 2 nd part of it is under restoration until summer !Very well organized and clean !Intresting collection of photography portraits .

One of the best museums I’ve visited. The experience is deep and full of feeling. The Holocaust is shown in a different and very interesting way. The architecture of the building is art in itself. Without a doubt a must see in Berlin.

A place filled with emotion. Some exhibitions fill the smaller hallways and rooms of the building. A pretty garden located right next to it and a nice cafe inside. Though, the real attractions are the axis and towers. Empty, quiet yet loud, filled with shadows...truly worth a visit.

Highly recommend to visit it if you are in Berlin. The architecture is full of symbolic meanings. In order to fully grasped the deepened meaning of the design, it’s important to rent the audio! Totally touched by the exhibition even though some of the permanent exhibits are closed for renovation till spring 2020.

Good general Jewish culture museum. Some striking and well designed architectural parts and cultural lessons and experiences. Recommended, especially if youve never been to a Jewish or holocaust museum, camp or seen a movie. Yet this is a much broader cultural museum and benefits nicely from that.

The best museum as interior design and architecture that i have ever seenGarden museum also is prefect all decoration and axis are designed by architect or consular of architect ,cause the architect is jewishHe can do it better than other architectsDon’t miss gardenAtmosphere are fantasticDon’t forget to get voice guide,it cost 3 euro but its usefulDon’t miss the dark room at the end of holocaust axis.................

Amazing architecture, for starters. The whole place was designed to make you uncomfortable and iffy. Believe me, you get the message. Also, the curators of an exhibit on Jerusalem were careful to include a diversity of perspectives. The cafeteria is nice, they serve lunch with kosher food. Beautiful garden in the back

For me this kind of museum was to modern, and its the same story. I must admit i dare not think about how many people were killed and when you start thinking you end up with how is it possible that a human can do this. But i found the museum also told why Israel is better (?and that the role of women in Israel is not what i hoped it should be.

This museum has great, well though out exhibitions. There is a "welcome to Jerusalem" special exhibition on the first level, which takes you through the past and current conflicts of the city in a thorough and educating way. The permanent exhibition was also worth seeing/experiencing.how space and void can be used as channel of communication.

Very impressive architecture and museum design. Very unique museum compared to the others around the city. The whole museum experience is successful in making the visitors realising the horror of the human and social trauma that the WW2 genocide was. It takes about an 1h to visit thoroughly and 30min on fast pace.

My husband and I are really liked the museum. The history of the people of Israel is well revealed. I would certainly be better acquainted with the culture and traditions.I want to mark the souvenir shop especially, there you can buy things that are usually available only in online stores.

One of "must to visit" while in Berlin.Incredible structure of the building. It makes you "feel" the museum exhibition. The architecture of the building plays with your senses, at some points you can feel how it plays with the mood of the visitors.The strongest and most emotional places - tower/garden/faces hall.Really strong exhibition "Welcome to Jerusalem".Student ticket price 3eu. Audio guide 3eu. Strongly recommend taking the audio guide - without it you will loose some essential info about the building and structure of exhibition.

The main exhibit is currently closed for renovations but there is a special exhibit called "Welcome to Jerusalem" that is about the history of Jerusalem. It is a complicated history and this exhibit is very well put together and has a lot to offer to explain its ancient history right up to the modern day. Even though all you can see is this exhibit it is still well worth the visit.

This museum is amazing, it is not just for what it represents, but it is also in the way it has been built. My suggestion is to get an audio guide, because half of the experience of the museum is the architecture and how the architect (Libeskindwanted to represent certain feelings. Listening his comments whilst you’re walking inside of it gives you the full experience. This is a must museum for your Berlin visit. The memory void is a permanent installation that gives you goossebumps.

Incredible museum. One of the best things I did in Berlin. Only allocated it an hour or two but ended up spending half the day there. The architecture is very unique and creates a really engaging and moving experience. The museum deals with the holocaust but also has an exhibition all about Jewish history and culture from well before WWII. Very informative.

Interesting but disappointing. Content nice but not overwhelming, and unstructured. But, the architecture is the (well, mymain issue: the building is a complicated architectural statement, full of symbolics and messages. Which get in the way of just consuming the contents, with focusing on that. With getting into some sort of a flow. One ends up struggling with the spacial experience that the starchitect made up. I was not the only one being confused.The cafe space is clear, open and beautiful. The symbolic garden outside is impressive (but hard to overlook).
