Berlin's Jewish Museum

This striking new building designed by Daniel Libeskind has a footprint that looks like a bolt of lightning. The shape and design of the structure itself is intended to convey something of its difficult subject, two centuries of Jewish life in Germany. Full of odd angles, slit-like windows that look out over 'voids', and uphill passageways, it's a challenging place to visit. Airport-type security at the entrance and crowds inside, of all ages.
