Allied Museum

Allied Museum

The Allied Museum is located in Berlin, Germany, in the former American-occupied sector. It documents Germany’s political history, military agreements, and the historical Western Allies (the United States, France, and the United Kingdom), particularly Germany from 1945 to 1994 and its contributions to freedom and liberation.

The Allied Museum showcases that extraordinary, tense, and highly dramatic period of history between 1945 and the 1990s, when the United States and the Soviet Union, along with their respective allies, were engaged in political and diplomatic confrontation, conflict, and competition — commonly known as the Cold War. During this time, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France formed the Western Allies in opposition to the Soviet Union. The museum comprehensively presents the significant military and political aspects of the Cold War, as well as post-World War II and early 1990s Berlin.

On display here are world-famous artifacts such as the guardhouse from Checkpoint Charlie, along with many other historically authentic items related to politics, the military, and daily life. In addition, several large permanent exhibits are displayed in the open-air area, such as a British Hastings transport aircraft and a French railway carriage.
