Live Berlin Summer 2008!
The Jewish museum situated in Berlin is the largest one of its kind in Europe. It impressively documents approximately some 2000 years of history. With its age old design, the Jewish museum is eye catching to say the least as it also boasts modern art exhibitions. Furthermore the Jewish museum acts as a symbol of Germany’s new direction after the horrifying events that took place back in World War II.
The Jewish museum situated in Berlin is one of Germany’s first symbols of its reunification as the museum was just recently opened to the public back in 2001. It’s a testament of the reunification as it was one of the first buildings designed. But the Jewish museum’s history dates back to 1933 and was closed by the Nazi regime in 1938. It was around the 1990´s that its fate got to be decided as the Jewish museum was first to take shape as a additional department within other existing museums.
Amazingly when the Jewish museum was completed in 1999, it attracted over 350,000 people before it was filled and opened. It’s official opening was incidentally on September 11th of 2001, a day in history that the modernized world will never forget. Another striking fact is that the Jewish museum is situated and positioned on ground that used to be both part of the old west and east Berlin.
Today the museum is expected to expand its facilities to include a new glass courtyard. Oddly enough its inspiration came from the structure of a tree. The construction is furthermore supported by pillars which extend into the roof of the design forming a steel network. In addition, the Glass Hall is a complex building project which is quite unconventional in both construction and materials used. As a result this project’s design has to be seen in person in order to be fully appreciated. It is therefore recommended to arrange all of your travel and accomodatie Berlijn ahead of time.
Depending on the length of your stay it is advisable to either rent appartementen in Berlijn or book hotel Berlijn in order for you to experience and enjoy the Jewish museum in Berlin!
Furthermore, the Glass Courtyard will provide the Museum with a room in which to hold events such as educational workshops, concerts, theatrical performances, and receptions for up to 500 people year round. As you can see, there is more to the Jewish museum than just admiring the amazing pieces of art within the compound. The Jewish museum has now become a sight to truly behold and admire.
