Jewish Museum Berlin

This guide to the Jewish Museum Berlin follows Daniel Libeskind's zigzagging building through its voids, bare concrete slits cut from basement to roof, including the Memory Void, floored with ten thousand hand-punched iron faces by sculptor Menashe Kadishman for every victim of violence and war. It leads outside to the tilted Garden of Exile, forty-nine concrete pillars filled with soil from Berlin and one from Jerusalem, built to unsettle your footing. You'll also find a narrow, unlit tower designed to be hard to breathe in.
