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.

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.
