Jewish Museum

Initially, the museum dedicated to Jewish culture, was founded in Berlin in 1933. But, unfortunately, he did not survive the onslaught of the Nazi regime and was closed. Ever since 1971, the exhibition dedicated to the tercentenary of the Jewish community, was first proposed the idea of ​​the construction of a new Jewish museum, but she still remained unclaimed for more than 10 years. Every year these exhibitions were held in the building of the former Museum of the History of Berlin, but every year the problem of the expansion of space became urgent. And in 1988 a competition was announced for the best architectural design for the expansion of the museum exhibits devoted to the Jewish people. The winner of this contest was the architect Daniel Libeskind.
