The Jewish Museum of Greece

posted by JohnG on 31 March 2009 at 20:40

Originally housed in a small room next to the city's synagogue, the Jewish Museum of Greece became a full-fledged reality with its own building in 1998. The museum once housed the delicate and salvaged manuscripts and artifacts from the 19th and 20th centuries that survived the ravages of World War II, but over the years its collections expanded and it became a center for research and study. The museum is filled with cultural treasures and is open Monday through Friay from 9 - 2:30 and Sundays from 10:00 - 2:00. Closed Saturdays. This is a museum that is best for adults of mature children.

Jewish Museum

posted by JohnG on 31 March 2009 at 20:28

Some of the oldest religious objects in Europe can be found at the Jewish Museum in Prague. The reason for this is because Adolph Hitler planned to build a museum in Prague that would be "a museum of an extinct race." You can see many of these artifacts in this museum. This is a museum for mature audiences, since some of the exhibits could be disturbing, especially a showcase of work by young artists interred at a concentration camp during WW-II. They never grew to adulthood and their art portrays their hauntingly sad view of their shortened life. Part of the tour is a visit to the Old Jewish Cemetery, which has more than 12,000 graves dating back to the 15th century.

Jewish Museum of Berlin

posted by JohnG on 31 March 2009 at 20:16

It doesn't matter what your religion or cultural background may be, a visit to the Jewish Museum is a must if you are in Berlin. It gives you an historical perspective of the 2,000 year history of Jews and Germans and their interactions. There are many permanent exhibits, but there are also temporary shows. Of interest now is a special exhibit on "Deadly Medicine," which chronicles the so-called creation of the "Master Race." This is a sobering and serious museum meant for mature individuals.
