Jewish Museum Frankfurt, Frankfurt am Main | Hours, exhibitions and artworks on Artsupp

The Jüdisches Museum Frankfurt is the Jewish museum of Frankfurt. Founded in 1988, it is the oldest Jewish museum in Germany. It was inaugurated by the same chancellor of that time, Helmut Kohl, on November 9, 1988, on the fiftieth anniversary of the November 1938 pogrom, the so-called night of the crystals. The museum includes two different museum locations: that of the Jüdisches Museum, which focuses on Jewish history and culture from 1800 to the present day, and that of the Museum Judengasse, which instead takes into consideration the previous period, starting from the Middle Ages until the beginning of the nineteenth century. The Jüdisches Museum collection includes objects and evidence from several centuries of everyday Jewish life and the Jewish economic history of Frankfurt. Particular attention is paid to the collections of Jewish families who had to emigrate from the city. The collection also includes topographical representations of Jewish places in Frankfurt, mainly from the 19th and 20th centuries, and documents on the history of Jewish student associations. The museum also includes a collection of artistic works with the works of the Lost Generation, that is, that artistic generation that has been forced to remain silent in their work or to flee. These include the expressionist Hanns Ludwig Katz (1892-1940), Samson Schames (1898-1967), Moritz Daniel Oppenheim (1800-1882), the first Jewish artist to receive an academic training. In 2012, the museum's collection was enriched with an important heritage from the Anne Frank Fund, consisting of paintings, photographs, letters, memorabilia, everyday objects and furniture belonging to the Anne Frank family, who had lived permanently in Frankfurt since the 16th century .
