    A wonderful museum with exhibitions and layouts that are both cognizant and commemorative. The Axis of the Holocaust and Welcome to Jerusalem exhibitions should not be missed.

    Get the audio guide. And then take your time to experience the museum with all your senses. Don't just rush through, read some of the exhibits - but let the architecture speak to you.

    Great museum, but your biggest mistake can be starting the tour from the bottom/ Go to the 2nd floor and work your way down! Great collections on Jewish history and culture, the Nazi times and renewal

    The architecture is incredible - you are walking through piece of art. The exhibits are also great, focusing not only on the Holocaust, but on all aspects of Jewish history in the region. Must see.

    Definitely a place to visit if you're in Berlin. Take some time to go through all the stuff and tiny details that have been presented. You'd need max. 3 hrs but can be covered in an hour if in hurry.

    Probably one of the most amazing museums I've been to. The special exhibit Obedience on the Binding of Isaac was part MoMA part Sleep No More. The permanent collection resides in some incredible arch

    The museum architecture and the artistic part of the museum are amazing, and its not your typical holocaust museum- it shows the life of Jews in Germany since 900ac and their effect- very interesting!
