Jewish Museum Berlin

The Jewish Museum Berlin relaunched its website www.jmberlin.de – revised comprehensively with respect to both content and design – on 18 November. Its features are simple navigation accessible to all users, and an attractive design with large pictures, films, and interactive elements.The screen surface combines fun with individually tailored access: When the user drags the mouse across the page, it leaves a trail that reveals hidden pictures.

The main page, "Museum on Site," displays a new presentation of the permanent exhibition and offers virtual insights into the the Rafael Roth Learning Center and the Museum collection (http://www.jmberlin.de/permanent-exhibition/, www.jmberlin.de/learning-center and www.jmberlin.de/collection/)

The second main part, educational activities for "Kids, Students, Teachers," is organized according to target groups and contains comprehensive information on the Museum’s educational work and explorative elements (www.jmberlin.de/kids-students-teachers/).

The third part of the website, the "Online Showcase", presents virtual exhibitions. At the moment, it reveals what visitors otherwise cannot see at the Museum: a look behind the scenes and in the faces of the employees (www.jmberlin.de/online-showcase/).

All sections of the new website are accessible to all users and are bilingual (German/English). Selected information is also available in French, Spanish, and Italian, and a film in German sign language informs the hearing impaired.
