Through its exhibitions and publications, its cultural education program and events, the Jewish Museum Munich strives to be in constant dialog with its visitors and, like a research laboratory open to continuous change, explore actual and future questions based on the knowledge of the past and to present these for discussion. Similarly, Jewish history, culture, and art are always regarded as a reflection of diverse identities and life plans, and as the result of interaction between Jewish and non-Jewish lifeworlds.
