The building was fabulous... PLEASE listen to the 5 minutes intro at the beginning of the museum that explains the architecture. Then it will all be clear. The museum itself is very small, what is there is done very well but I came away wanting a little more. The plight of the Danish Jewish community was much more positive than many other places so perhaps there just isn't much else to say??

A relatively new museum only opened last September so still a bit ‘work in progress’. The focus at the moment is on Jewish exodus in 1943 but also tells of early Jewish immigration. I loved the ‘dolls house’ which is basically an animated miniature house telling a story. Worth a visit!

A small but beautifully designed museum on the experience of Danish Jews during World War II. The building, designed by the famous architect Daniel Liebeskind, is disorienting and purposeful so. Excellent graphics and exhibits as well, all designed to put the visitors in Danish Jews' shoes.

Fairly new on the scene is this beautifully designed, compact, visually interpretive and written history of Danish Jewry over many centuries. Each individual exhibit/item gives one pause to truly reflect upon what is depicted, said and not said. We were given a strong recommendation to visit the museum on a recent stay in Copenhagen and are so glad to have done so. It was a very personally significant experience.

This museum, which opened in 2004, is an extraordinary experience and I remain deeply grateful to have visited. Designed by Daniel Libeskind within the brick-vaulted space once used by the Royal Boat House, the museum provides a memorial to the Jewish experience in Denmark, from the early 1600s to the Second World War, when many Danish Jews were able to escape to Sweden (paying a price for passage) and so avoid deportation to the concentration camps. Libeskind interpreted this rescue as the fulfilment of a mitzvah, and the slanting walls and corridors expressively spell out this word in Hebrew. The exhibits are incisive and memorable. Extraordinarily clever and creative are the 18th century silhouette drama played out in a doll's house, and the stories recounted in video and objects within the peddler's box. I went on a Sunday, and there were few people. Pallid animations play out other historical scenes. It was the most satisfying art and cultural experience I had in Copenhagen. I was surprised more people were not there. Thank you.
