Museum Feasibility Study

Thessaloniki, Greece, 2017 - 2019

urKultur was commissioned to produce the Programmatic and Museological Feasibility Study for the planned 6,000 sqm Museum of Jewish Life and the Holocaust in Thessaloniki. This project represents one of the biggest and most culturally sensitive projects under development in Greece today. urKultur produced the feasibility study, working together with financial consultants and the architects Efrat Kowalsky & Heide von Beckerath. We were also part of the team that presented the concept to the donors, the German Government and Stavros Niarchos Foundation. urKultur continues to advise the Jewish Community on the development of the museum.
