| Facility: | Wende Museum |
| Description: | The Los Angeles-based Wende Museum is a non-profit organization dedicated to acquiring, preserving, and enabling access to cultural and political objects, personal histories and documentary materials of Cold War-era Eastern Europe. The scope of the collection encompasses artifacts and archives from all former Warsaw Pact states and emphasizes life in the Soviet Union and East Germany, a country on the front line of the Cold War. The Wende Museum has innovative exhibitions and community outreach efforts - providing a nuanced exploration of a society whose dominant ideological and political framework was largely dismantled in a few short years. The Museum offers a broad and comprehensive collection of over 100,000 objects and archival materials, including household consumer products, clothing, folk art, diaries and scrapbooks, political iconography, photograph albums, posters, films, textbooks, paintings, sports awards and certificates, and children’s toys. These resources, which are often outside the scope of official archives and traditional museum collections, present a valuable window through which to view the everyday interactions and relationships that shaped life behind the Iron Curtain. |
