Visiting the Jewish Museum in Munich

Hey everyone, first of all I would like to welcome you all to my new contribution and hope you have a day so far which is full of positive experiences! Today I would like to expand my travel blog a bit and share a new experience which I have made and I am happy if you are able to learn new things.

During my visit to Munich, I decided to go to the Jewish Museum which is located in the middle of the city and focusses on illuminating the Jewish history in Munich and describing the cultural aspects behind it. It's a rather modern museum which was opened in 2007 and already from the outside the building looks very inviting and it's in any case an architectural masterpiece which was designed by a German office which has the ideology to design historical or cultural buildings. The museum is divided into different floors and while in the lower floor there is a permanent exhibition which generally deals with Jewish history, changing exhibitions can be visited on the other floors, which of course also revolve around Jewish life in the city. During my visit there were some paintings of Jewish people who had experienced an influential development in Munich and among them were some industrial or other influential Jews who had built a foothold in Munich.

Of course, the museum is also a lot about the present and sometimes hard themes are expressed in an artistic way and so I saw a comic that bring serious topics into its own and the focus in another room was also to give people a voice and through loudspeakers, it was possible to learn the history of different Jews who lived here. In part, the museum has also been interactive and on the whole I would say that about 1 - 2 hours are enough for a visit because the museum is not too large. The entrance fee is within a fair range and with about 6€ no one can complain and like many other museums, it can be visited all week except on Monday. I have also seen a room in which a separate program for children was offered and they could become creative there themselves and thus there is something for young or old and definitely recommended for anyone who is interested in Jewish history. In Bavaria it's an important part of Israeli culture and next to the museum there is also a synagogue and even if the museum was only opened relatively late, the ideology of creation probably goes back much longer and I have learned that there is already decades of planning behind it.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new! I captured these pictures with my Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens.
