Architectural context

About Daniel Libeskind

Daniel Libeskind designed the Jewish Museum Berlin’s extension under the title Between the Lines. The museum opened in 2001, after the empty building had already attracted visitors. Its architecture makes the experience of moving through the building part of the encounter with German-Jewish history.

On the lower level, three intersecting axes represent exile, the Holocaust and continuity. The building’s voids create a different kind of space from the exhibition galleries. When exploring this example, distinguish the architectural spaces from the exhibitions and installations they contain.
