Overview
- The Jüdisches Museum Berlin has opened a special exhibition marking 25 years of its Libeskind building, with the architect attending and the show running through November 1, 2026.
- The galleries present original plans, drawings and large models, including the early Names model built on lists of murdered Berlin Jews.
- The exhibition spotlights the Voids—tall empty concrete shafts that cut through the building—to show how the architecture makes loss physically felt by visitors.
- Libeskind said he would now emphasize the Voids more and tighten their connections in response to growing violence against Jews and rising antisemitism.
- A dedicated room shows his rejected plans for the former SS troop grounds in Sachsenhausen, whose model Studio Libeskind donated after the design earned a municipal special prize.
