It’s 25 years since the Jewish Museum Berlin fully opened to the public, and in that time, visitors to the center have regularly queued round the block. They come to see the modernist, discordant zig-zag extension designed by American architect Daniel Libeskind, and to visit a roster of exhibitions forever coming up with original – and often unexpected – angles on Jewish life. To celebrate 25 wave-making years, the museum is hosting a series of Family Sunday events throughout 2026 where families with children aged 6 to 16 can attend free workshops, creative sessions and guided tours. This Sunday (26.07.2026) the program includes a guided tour for teens and young adults of Between the Lines, an exhibition exploring the architecture of the museum. Younger visitors can also discover Daniel Libeskind’s architecture for themselves at The Crooked House workshop. Meanwhile, the story of Noah’s Ark is given fresh context at the Ark Building workshops, where children can help build a boat and discuss what the Biblical tale teaches us today (sessions throughout the day). For families with a need to knead, there are a number of bread-themed activities such as tours looking at the Biblical significance of loaves and the chance to watch flatbreads bake in the museum’s clay oven before sampling them yourself. These are just a selection of the highlights of the day – check out the full program and registration details here.
