Gain a world of insight into Jewish life and culture in Munich.
When the topic of Jews in German history is discussed, the infamous Holocaust and terrible fate that this community has faced typically comes to mind. While the Holocaust represents a dark period for the Jews, there is more to Jewish history than this brutality. The Jewish Museum Munich (Jüdisches Museum München) attempts to portray this lesser-known side of Jewish history, focusing on the stories, art and festivals of the Jewish people. The permanent installation is a sensory immersion, where you will be treated to an interesting collection of exhibits – Voices, which are audio tracks from Jewish migrants to Munich; Places and Pictures, which use images to tell their stories and achievements; and Rituals, which gives you an understanding about their practices, festivals, and religious holidays.
