Experience Jewish Life with All Senses
On April 30, 2026, a special museum tour opens at the Jewish Museum Franconia in Fürth: Understanding Jewish Life – A Discovery Journey with All Senses. This inclusive event combines historical education, religious everyday culture, and sensory experience into an impressive artistic experience of remembering and understanding.
When History Becomes Audible, Scented, and Tasted
The sound of the shofar horn, the scent of spices and Shabbat, the taste of matzah and kosher gummy bears: The tour focuses on immediate perception. In this form, cultural education gains a special intensity, as religious practice is not abstract but becomes physically tangible. A sign language interpreter accompanies the event and emphasizes the inclusive claim.
A 3D Model Makes Historical Fürth Visible
Particularly impressive is the 3D model of the former Fürth schoolyard with its synagogues and educational institutions. It illustrates how densely Jewish life was once anchored in the center of the city. Such forms of mediation connect museum education, city history, and spatial imagination in an exemplary manner and open up a precise examination of historical sites as cultural testimonies.
Inclusion as the Key to the Museum Experience
The event also asks how Jews with disabilities live their religious everyday life. It brings to the forefront a perspective that is often too little visible. In cooperation with the Middle Franconian Disabled Council and as part of Fürth Celebrates Diversity, the museum shows how religious tradition, social participation, and barrier awareness are interrelated.
The Jewish Museum Franconia as a Place of Living Memory
The museum conveys the diversity of Franconian-Jewish life from its beginnings to the present in its locations in Fürth, Schnaittach, and Schwabach. This is particularly evident in Fürth: The building at Königstraße 89 is located at a historic site of Jewish history and connects permanent exhibition, educational work, and contemporary relevance into a rich exhibition atmosphere.
Conclusion: An Invitation to Aesthetic and Historical Experience
This inclusive museum tour promises not quick knowledge transfer, but a sustainable encounter with Jewish culture. Those who wish to come experience Jewish life as sound, taste, memory, and presence. A visit on April 30, 2026, is definitely worthwhile, as history is not only explained here but made directly experiential.
