Yes, time to visit exhibitions and museums, the summer weather
this week is perfect for that.
The museum has been renovated and is now open again!
The expansion of the Jewish Museum has given rise to a completely
new museum complex. The modern extension was designed by Staab
Architekten and has been built next to the historic Rothschild Palais.
The two buildings form a harmonious ensemble of new and old, thus
creating a new cultural center in the heart of Frankfurt.
ART.
Interactive, yeah!
Lapsi on terve kun se leikkii. Ja aikuinen kanssa.
Palikat suoraan pinoon.
Always fascinating to see how Frankfurt looked like
after the bombings of the II WW.
Jews have always played a significant role in the city.
This is the oldest municipal Jewish Museum in Germany.
On November 9, 1988, Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl opened
the museum on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the
November Pogrom.
Drawings and paintings, sceneries from the concentration camps.
All kind of collections, like this family tree.
Check the acorns with hinges, wonder if they had the pics
of the kids hidden in there,
I tell you, interactive!
You can hold the card in front of those blinking info points,
collect infromation and read all at home.
PS We did try to scan but ... at home no good results.
Sure, you can check the internet page but
it is more impressive to see some objects live.
Impressvie, I tell you.
Modern installation has also found its place in the museum.
Rotschild family has its own exhibition areas.
Rothschild family, the most famous of all European banking dynasties,
which for some 200 years exerted great influence on the economic and,
indirectly, the political history of Europe. The house was founded by
Mayer Amschel Rothschild (b. February 23, 1744, Frankfurt am Main
—d. September 19, 1812, Frankfurt) and his five sons.
Starting out in a Frankfurt banking house, Mayer and his sons became
international bankers, establishing branches in London, Paris, Vienna,
and Naples by the 1820s. In addition to banking and finance, the Rothschild
businesses have encompassed mining, energy, real estate, and winemaking.
From the early 19th century the family has been known for its considerable
charitable activities, particularly in the arts and education.
Mayer’s family name derived from the red (rot) shield on the house
in the ghetto in which his ancestors had once lived.
Modern technology, you can see how the old houses were decorated.
Quite many portraits, and other paintings as well.
A few old rooms with kind of original look.
The most famous jewish girl from Frankfurt:
Anne Frank. She was born in Frankfurt 1929.
The staircase in the new museum.
Almost Guggenheim.
