Coming up this week on Museumsandstuff:

Dear all, 

I am back from an unplanned trip to the UK and a planned trip to Berlin for my brother’s 30th birthday and I am determined that you wonderful followers and commenters will get some serious attention from me this week. 

As such, here is a taster for the coming week!

  • Exciting new temporary exhibition at the Vienna city museum addressing the city’s African residents in the past 
  • News about the redeveloped Jewish Museum
  • My thoughts and musings on my Berlin experience and the museums I got to there
  • Summary of responses to the questionnaire many of you found the time to answer (thank you!)
  • A look at the Austrian “Long Night of the Museums”, which - alas - I missed because I was in Berlin, but I will be quizzing people and reading that papers!

Brace yourselves for a week of original posts museum-lovers of the world!

Libeskind extension for Berlin’s Jewish museum is unveiled:

Together with its growing archive and library holdings, this has resulted in an “acute” lack of space, the museum said.

The extension, opposite the current site on Lindenstrasse, will be “one of the most important research and education centres on the history and culture of German-speaking Jewry,” it said.
