Find the Jewish Museum Munich behind the glass facade marked Cafe in Altstadt-Lehel. Move through three floors of permanent and special exhibitions, following Jewish history and the way memory and trauma pass down generations.

📖

Full description

The Jewish Museum Munich presents Jewish history, life and culture through a multimedia approach spread over three floors in Altstadt-Lehel. The permanent exhibition runs on the lower levels, with reviewers noting sections on history and on how trauma passes between generations, alongside a floor for special exhibitions.

The entrance is easy to miss: the glass building's door reads Cafe, and tickets are bought at the long orange counter inside. Visitors mention informative displays and a comic-style element that makes the content approachable.

Around 45 minutes is a typical visit, and the museum is closed on Mondays.

Reviews

Check the museum timings for a visit. Couldn't see from inside. Nice work, representing a community and a place to meet in the city. Cool cafe to refresh for a while.
