hmmmmm lets see :)

i was there couple days ago, but only had like 3 hours so i only could see a small part. i should probably get a yearly pass and check out all the rest.

its a really good museum, loads of international visitors there, its a clever project, they use ipods as an audioguide.

cheers

:wave: I went this summer. I live out on the other side of the country south of Darmstadt, but DH took me for our honeymoon to Zürich, then Berlin and Leipzig.

The museum was on my must see list, and we spent a long time there and looked at everything. It is definitely one of the better museums out there, and it really moved me. I also went to the Jüdisches Denkmal - Unsure what it was called exactly, the one that you can walk through with the staggared sized walls at different heights etc..

I was really moved by that, and going to the Rosenstrasse, as well as going to the museum itself. I think the room with the iron faces on the floor had me in tears if I recall correctly (this was about 6 months ago).

I appreciated all the history and the videos, and while we were there, there were some families from Israel visiting as well speaking Hebrew with their Children.
At one point I think we took part of a tour in English because I had gotten so tired that I was getting 'lost' in German (I'm still learning and getting tired plays into my mind shutting off).

I'd definitely reccommend it for the quality and price, as well as suggesting if you are ever out here near Worms, to come and visit the Rashi Haus, the Mikwe and Cemetery. It's definitely of great historical worth as well.
