MEIS Museum_Ferrara
:: National Jewish Museum::
In the project for the new Italian Jewish and Shoah Musum we searched for an idea that would avoid the clashing between Jewish culture and the structure that was going to house the museum: an old Jail. We chose to build a Sukkah/hut at the entrance, where visitors will be welcomed into the Musum. Living in a hut means to remember the precariousness of the human condition, but staying in it should also be a pleasant experience, it should be a welcoming place. The roof of a Sukkah should cast shadows, it should let the rain pass through and it should not prevent people from seeing the stars over their heads at night. Whoever enters the Sukkah of the MEIS will gradually discover lights, colors, scents, sounds of the Jewish culture; he/she will learn the history and culture of Jewish people who have been living in Italy for more than two thousand years.
