Jewish Museum

The Jewish Museum Munich is a municipal institution on Sankt-Jakobs-Platz that opened in 2007. The architect-designed complex connects three floors with a straight staircase. Across 900 square meters, the museum presents the city's Jewish history and present. The permanent exhibition "Stimmen – Orte – Zeiten" (Voices – Places – Times) is located on the lower level, while changing special exhibitions can be seen on the upper floors. Visitors can also make use of a study room, a specialist library, a Jewish bookstore, and a cafeteria on the ground floor. The collection traces its origins to a private museum from the 1980s, which was later taken over and further developed by the Israelite Community of Munich.
