Between The Lines
Architecture Tour (in German)
The striking zig-zag building designed by New York architect Daniel Libeskind is one of Berlin’s most iconic architectural works. On the occasion of its 25th anniversary, the Jewish Museum Berlin (JMB) is dedicating an exhibition to the building and the period of its creation.
In his design Between the Lines, with which he won the competition for the JMB in 1989, Daniel Libeskind inscribed the German-Jewish history – marked by countless ruptures and the attempt at erasure – into the very structure of the museum.
