Dansk Jødisk Museum - a new entrance

View fullsize

The Jewish Museum in Copenhagen is at the north corner of the Danish Royal Library in the part of the building known as old Galley House with an entrance from the garden - Det Kongelige Biblioteks Have.

Opened in June 2004, the museum was designed by Daniel Libeskind but, after an extensive rearrangement of the exhibition area, it has just been reopened officially by the Minister of Justice Mattias Tesfaye.

The most obvious change is to the entrance to the museum. Where there had been a simple doorway from the garden, there is now a large and dramatic, stone-faced and terror-proof entrance space that again has been designed by Libeskind.
