The Wende Museum

The Wende Museum is an art museum, cultural center, and archive that preserves history and brings it to life through exhibitions, scholarship, education, and community engagement. 'Wende' is a German word meaning 'turning point' or 'change,' describing the transformative period around the fall of the Berlin Wall. Founded in 2002, the museum holds an unparalleled collection of art and artifacts from the Cold War era, serving as a foundation for programs that illuminate political and cultural changes of the past, offer opportunities to make sense of a changing present, and inspire active participation in personal and social change for a better future.
