Architect Daniel Libeskind is the design talent behind of one of the largest Jewish museums in Europe, the Jewish Museum in Berlin. Nicknamed "Blitz" (or “Lightning”) by Berliners because of the building’s radical, zigzag design, the museum’s contemporary buildings house over 3,000 m2 of exhibition space. Through works of art, images, text archives and everyday objects, the Jewish Museum tells the story of the German Jews over 2,000 years. Multimedia and interactivity feature heavily throughout the experience in this landmark of Jewish memories and awareness.
