The Michael Blumenthal Akademie was created in 2001, located just opposite the museum, on the other side of Lindenstrasse. The structure, also designed by Libeskind, is composed of three tilted cubes set into one another, housing an auditorium, a library, archives and educational facilities. The two wooden cubes on the inside are designed to symbolize Noah’s Ark: just as God’s creatures were saved by the Ark, Jewish history has been saved within these spaces.
