Been to the new Jewish Museum in Berlin today. It's an interesting museum
and all but to be honest I'm not a huge museum person to begin with, let alone Jewish ones... But this one's a little different - what's really amazing and makes the visit doubly worthwhile is the building itself. It's the most zigzagy place I have ever been to. It's pretty hard to explain but the floors go in different slopes and the walls meet at weird angles. Then, because of all this you end u having those gaps or voids that don't serve much of a purpose apart from the obvious symbolic one.

The thing I found probably the most moving is one of those voids that was turned into a artwork of sorts.
There's not much there, just thousands of steel plates on the floor.
Once you walk through it, as you have to, they make this clanking
noise, amplified a hundred times just by the voidness of the place.


And then you also notice that those plates have faces. It's probably
something you have to see and experience to understand. But it's a pretty full on experience. Especially in Berlin.
