Historical tour - exciting views

A video installation in the Libeskind Building, the work Drummerrsss by Israeli artist Gilad Ratman, produced especially for the exhibition, marks the start of the tour, before visitors make their way through the axes and up the striking staircase into the exhibition rooms. There, a sculpturally designed welcome point invites visitors to arrive and join in.

The subsequent tour of the exhibition alternates between historical narratives from the Middle Ages to the present day and thematically focussed insights into Jewish culture and religion: What is sacred in Judaism? What happens on Shabbat? What sound does Judaism have?
