The Jewish Museum in Munich presents the history of the Jewish community of Munich and is part of the new Jewish city center. It houses a public elementary school, kindergarten, youth center, as well as a social auditorium and a kosher restaurant.
The Jewish Museum in Munich is part of a complex consisting of three buildings and was designed by architects Rena Wandel-Hoefer and Wolfgang Lorch, who received the order after the architectural competition in 2001.
The museum was established in the years 2004 - 2007. The building was designed as a free-standing cube with a transparent hall on the ground floor.
The top two floors contain temporary exhibitions, a science center and a library. The museum's permanent exhibition is on a lower level. The permanent exhibition provides an overview of the Jewish history of Munich, with particular emphasis on the Jewish religion, its annual festivals and rituals of passage: circumcision, bar and batmitz, marriage, death.
