About this app

About the JMB app
Let a multitude of voices guide you around the exhibitions and gain diverse perspectives on Jewish history and the present day in Germany. Discover the highlights and insider tips of the JMB in personal stories and interviews, e.g., with star architect Daniel Libeskind, pictures, videos, and games.

Choose one of the curated tours that introduce you to the highlights of the museum. The unique architecture of the ensemble is also highlighted in a separate tour. Would you rather explore on your own? You can enter numbers to determine your own selection and order; an interactive map helps you find your way around.

For young visitors, we offer “Young Perspectives – Your Tour Through the Museum,” an exciting and entertaining tour of the permanent exhibition (German/English only). The tour takes you to ten stations, which are varied in terms of theme and form and are consistently narrated from the perspective of young people.

Accessibility is important to us. If you are blind or visually impaired, you can use the app with a screen reader, and audio descriptions and tactile instructions support your accessible visit to the museum. For people with hearing impairments, we offer a tour with 20 videos in German sign language and all audio content as subtitles. The JMB app also offers 50 audio clips in easy language (German) and can be operated in a simplified mode.
