POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews

POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews
Warsaw, Poland

The absence or incompleteness of surviving sources and objects were a major obstacle when beginning work on the project. The planning team therefore decided to make the museum a narrative one. The first step was to determine what history was being told, and then to decide which materials and exhibition techniques would be used to tell it. The experience and authority of Jeshajahu Weinberg, the conceptual architect of two of the most modern narrative Jewish museums – the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington and the Diaspora Museum in Tel Aviv, were a major influence on the initial concept.
