Description:
Exterior detail: Garden of Exile and Emigration. Side view looking down into the Garden. Access to visitors is only from inside the museum via a tunnel. Walls and staff doors into the garden are also not at right angles. The museum website describes the Garden: "Forty-nine concrete stelae rise out of the square plot. The whole garden is on a 12° gradient and disorients visitors, giving them a sense of the total instability and lack of orientation experienced by those driven out of Germany. Russian willow oak grows on top of the pillars symbolizing hope." < http://www.jmberlin
>. The Garden of Exile and Emiigration attempts "to completely disorient the visitor. It represents a shipwreck of history." (Daniel Libeskind, 1999) Location: Lindenstraße 9-14, 10969 Berlin. The museum opened in 2001 in the renovated 18th century Collegienhaus (1735). Libeskind's extension to the museum (The Libeskind Building) was opened in 2003. The Glass Courtyard, a covered component of the Collegienhaus, was completed in 2007. The museum website has an aerial view and map at < http://www.jmberlin
