Between the Lines

Bookable tour of Daniel Libeskind’s architecture

The tour presents the complex museum building in the context of its history and the special exhibition marking Daniel Libeskind’s 80th birthday, Between the Lines. It explores the ideas and concepts that ultimately led to the building’s current form, and visitors will experience various spaces together: the Garden of Exile, the Holocaust Tower, the Voids, and the Axis Cross.

Where

Old Building, ground level, “Meeting Point” in the Glass Courtyard
Lindenstraße 9–14, 10969 Berlin

With the building of the Jewish Museum Berlin, architect Daniel Libeskind created a unique architectural work that, even decades after its opening, continues to fascinate, unsettle, and disturb visitors alike. The architect has inscribed German-Jewish history into the building as a continuous narrative marked by numerous ruptures and attempts at erasure. Its outwardly closed structure, with no entrance, featuring a zigzag and straight lines, the so-called voids (empty spaces), and the Holocaust Tower, offer a glimpse of how spaces can tell history.
