The Jewish Museum in Berlin, Germany - Jüdisches Museum Berlin - is to get an extension designed by original architect Daniel Libeskind, after the sale of land for the project was approved by current owners Berliner Grossmarkt GmbH.

The museum is to build an academy housing a library, archives, educational spaces and offices on the site of the former flower market adjacent to its Kreuzberg premises in central Berlin. Construction of the €10m (£8.5m) project, which is to take the form of three oblique cube structures, is due to start in August and expected to be completed by 2011.
