GLAM on tour at the JMB
Wikipedians Explore the Museum
From 24 to 26 April 2026, volunteer Wikipedia editors from Berlin and beyond will be visiting the Jewish Museum Berlin (JMB). The workshop weekend is a collaboration between the Wikimedia Foundation’s project GLAM on tour and the JMB, which celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary this year.
The program for participants features writing workshops, talks on the museum’s history and architecture, and input on topics from the collection and exhibitions. Equipped with plenty of new knowledge and even more new questions, the Wikipedians will immerse themselves in museum life for three days. Which articles are missing from the online encyclopedia? Which could usefully be expanded using new information and images? How can Jewish themes be more strongly anchored in Wikipedia?
Digital Museum
In both the physical and the digital world, the JMB is the central platform for Jewish history and culture in Germany. It gives people all over the world the opportunity to freely access its materials. That includes building collaborative projects designed to embed the museum in society and reinforce solidarity. The JMB is happy to have the Wikimedia Foundation, which supports Wikipedia, as its partner in the open distribution of reliable knowledge about Jewish themes and perspectives.
GLAM on tour
The Wikimedia Foundation’s GLAM on tour project ‒ GLAM stands for galleries, libraries, archives, and museums ‒ encourages local-level networking between Wikipedia volunteers and cultural institutions. Wikipedians and those working in cultural bodies will get to know each other, creating and cultivating personal relationships between Wikipedia groups and cultural institutions. The objective is to build long-term collaborations that will give rise to trustworthy and freely accessible Wikipedia content.
