Between the Lines

Architecture Tour as Part of Family Sunday in German Sign Language (DGS)

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.

The guided tour presents the complex museum building in the context of Berlin during the turn of the decade and the post-reunification years, bringing Libeskind’s ideas and thoughts to life in the spaces he created, such as the Garden of Exile, the Holocaust Tower, and the so-called Voids.
