Near to the Vikualienmarkt (closed due to the religious holiday) is this tastefully modern complex. The synagogue, which echoes the Wailing Wall in Israel, is closed to outsiders and the museum is run by the city of Munich. The windows are an art installation where the artist asked people around the world what they know of Nazis, relations between Jews and non Jews in contemporary Germany, what they know about Nuremberg, and other touchy topics. It's a very good project.
Security is very tight here. The guy in the black suit was watching me with intensity as I chained Wm the Comqueror to the lamppost in the deserted plaza. There's a kosher cafe inside I wanted to check out and I bought a couple of topical cartoon postcards in the gift shop.
