Stadtmuseum 1
Across the way from the synagogue and still on Jakobsplatz is the Munich city museum. The recently opened permanent exhibition, Typically Munich, tells the story of the city from its founding in 1158 to the 1970's. Tucked away on the top floor is a fantastic dispay of marionettes from puppet theatre and old fairground attractions. The museum also has excellent changing photographic exhibitions and, in a separate building, a very comprehensive survey of the city's Nazi past. If you are ever in Munich it is definitely worth visiting.02 October 2009
And he is dead
Munich's synagogue is one of the most striking buildings in the city and stands in the centre of Jakobsplatz. Despite my best efforts I have yet to take a photograph of it that does it justice.In this image the synagogue is he building reflected in the window. The window is in the adjacent Jewish museum centre and many of them have texts like these in English and German reflecting Jewish experience in Munich.
