The Danish Jewish Museum is an incredibly well laid out display of fascinating articles, momentos, and history of how the Jewish people have been treated, survived, and thrived in Denmark over the last few hundred years. It is not the biggest museum you will ever visit, but it leaves you with a perspective on Danish Jewish life that you may never have before considered. Some of the displays are ingenious, and others are incredibly fascinating. Even the design of the interior is based on Jewish culture and historical Jewish life. There are also audio talks as well as visual displays, and everything is in English as well as Danish. It is easily well worth a visit, and everyone will learn something new, Jewish or not.

Cool history of Jews in Denmark. Lots of interesting artifacts. My one complaint was the way the exhibits were mounted, it was slightly different to read. Exhibits were in Danish and English.

This tiny garden between Danish Jewish Museum and Christiansborg is amazing. There are a small fountain, beaches, beautiful flower beds with roses. Charming. Highly recommend for visiting

worth a visit if you are interested in Jewish-Jewish history. the exhibition is much dominated by Daniel Liebeskind's design of the physical structure. Good enough, you think of things, because you can read on the museum's website that Libeskind himself portrays "the passage area as a kind of text found within a framework of many other faces - walls, inner spaces, displays, virtual perspectives - and draws a parallel with the way the texts of the Jewish nucleus, such as the Talmud, are always presented surrounded by commentaries and always in relation to these comments.The area of ​​the hall is in another sense a written text in the room: the Hebrew letters of the word Mitzvah are used as a basis for passage, so that the guests of the museum walk in the four letters in huge format ". The foregoing suggests that the museum should be seen as a work of art in itself. But get up again if it makes sense to put together a three-dimensional work of art with a museum of cultural history. I think the concept is thought because the physical structure will eventually limit the development of the museum and the exhibition. It seems that the star architect Daniel Liebeskind has fallen on the point of making the Danish Jewish Museum a special sensory experience that may not make the visitor rounded but perhaps somewhat silly. Just read what's on the museum's website: "As a visitor, you enter an exhibition that is an inexhaustible and expressive landscape. Lightweight wood flooring on the walls is a focal point for the Nordic environment, while sloping floors give candle memories and lightweight tape cuts into walls like another "The Danish Jewish Museum will be a place that reveals in the unique framework of Mitzvah a profound tradition...

A bit underwhelming to be honest with very fine print of the exhibited pieces. We noticed only later that there was a printed booklet so to say in bigger letters that you can rent for free but you can only get it in the gift shop when you exit so....

I would like to give a bigger star but I just can't after seeing some of the other jewish museums previously so I am kind of sad. There as a very kind lady working there that said we can ask any and every thing we want to know, she also speaks Yiddish if it is of any help to others :)

It is made as one big room, with couple of glass-shielded "artifacts" that tell story of Jewish families and communities that have been formed from 1700s onwards in dk and their social position

Cool story tho, never knew anything about it (ignorance on my behalf)

So yeah...go there Get educated about your...

Et museum der bestemt værd at besøg hvis man er interesseret i dansk-jødisk historie. Personlig synes jeg at udstillingen domineres alt for meget af Daniel Liebeskind design af de fysiske rammer. Godt nok er der tænkt over tingene, for man kan på museets hjemmeside læse sig til at Libeskind selv skildrer ”gangarealet som en slags tekst, der forløber indenfor en ramme af mange andre flader - vægge, indre rum, montrer, virtuelle perspektiver – og trækker en parallel til, hvordan jødiske kernetekster som Talmud altid præsenteres omgivet af kommentarer og altid står i forhold til disse kommentarer. Gangarealet er i endnu en forstand en tekst, som er skrevet i rummet: De hebraiske bogstaver fra ordet Mitzvah er nemlig brugt som grundforme for gangarealet, så museets gæster vandrer i de fire bogstaver i enormt format.” Ovenstående antyder at museet skal ses som et kunstværk i sig selv. Men rejser igen spørgsmål om det giver mening at sammenblande et tredimensionelt kunstværk med et kulturhistorisk museum. Jeg finder konceptet fortænkt fordi de fysiske rammer også på sigt kommer til at virke begrænsende for videreudvikling af museet og udstillingen. De skrånende gulve er heller ikke lige handicapvenligt. Hvilket man skulle have tænkt på da museet jo er statsanerkende og relativt nyetableret. Det føles som om at man er faldet pladask på halen for at selveste stjernearkitekten Daniel Liebeskind der har gjort sit til at gøre Dansk-Jødisk museum til en sær sansemæssig oplevelse der måske ikke gør den besøgende rundtosset, men måske en smule svimmel. Læs blot hvad der står på museets hjemmeside: ”Som besøgende træder man ind i en udstilling, som er et uudgrundeligt og udtryksfuldt landskab. Den lyse træbeklædning på væggene er en hentydning til de nordiske omgivelser, mens de skrånende gulve giver mindelser om søgang, og lysbånd skærer sig ind i murene som endnu en reference til Mitzvah. Hver enkelt besøgende oplever rummet med alle sanser og på sin egen måde. Med Libeskinds ord: ”Dansk Jødisk Museum vil blive et sted, der i Mitzvahs enestående ramme afdækker en dyb tradition og dens fremtid. Sammenkædningen af den gamle struktur i Det Kongelige Biblioteks hvælvede stenrum og den overraskende forbindelse til det unikke udstillingsrum skaber en dynamisk dialog mellem fortidens og fremtidens arkitektur – det gamles aktualitet og det nyes tidløshed.” Uanset ovenstående kritik er det absolut værd at besøge museet, og det kan samtidig anbefales at følge en...
