Jüdisches Museum (Jewish Museum)
This recently opened museum, near the Stadtmuseum, is dedicated to the long history of Jewish culture in the Bavarian capital, and is located on the site of a pre-war synagogue. It succeeds a much smaller attraction on Maximilianstrasse, and offers three floors of exhibitions, including a special section explaining general Jewish history and religious topics. There are various temporary exhibitions, often relating to topics such as exile to persecution, and each floor also has a dedicated study area for those undertaking serious research.
