Museum of the History of Polish Jews, Poland

Brief Description of the Project

In the Museum of the history of Polish Jews, Poland, the Forest gallery is taking shape; it will mark the beginning of visitors' journey through the Core Exhibition. At the end of May enormous glass panels arrived at the Museum; legends of the first Jews coming to Poland and settling here will be screened on them, including the beautiful Po-lin legend, to which Poland owes its Hebrew name.

The glass panels produced at Yalodomi SA ,Greece , and transporting them to the underground level where the exhibition is being installed was a real challenge. Producing these enormous glass panels was a real challenge since a 3D film screen was also introduced between the glass panes. The largest panel weighs approximately 1200 kg and measures over 8 square metres! They were lowered with help of a special crane (one of the eight cranes of that kind available in Poland). The next step was fixing the glass panels into solid steel holders embedded into the floor.
