This museum is of primary importance for the existence of decocracy in Europe and in the world, but it's clearly slightly neglected, and slightly off the main tourist routes. Except for the main hall, a great exhibition \Little America\ about realities of everyday life in American military community in West Berlin. I think the museum needs a better promotion, both on the state and international level.

This was the movie theater when my wife and I were stationed there from 1979 to 1984. We lived right behind it on Taylor Str.
Although small, this museum is quite enjoyable and has some interesting highlights of the cold war era in Berlin. There is no charge to enter the museum and plan on about an hour or so to tour it all. Seeing the preserved section of the Berlin Spy Tunnel and entering the Hastings TG 503 British transport plane were the highlights for me. The old Checkpoint Charlie gate house is here, along with a multitude of artifacts from post WW2 Berlin. If you ever wanted to learn more about the Berlin airlift, this is a really good museum for that knowledge. Worth a visit!
Under the title “How Enemies Became Friends,” the Allied Museum tells a unique story full of suspense and drama. It begins with the German defeat in World War II. In the summer of 1945, a few months after the Red Army marched into Berlin, U.S., British, and French troops followed as victors and occupiers. Together with their wartime allies, the Soviet Union, they aimed to free the German Reich of Nazism. Conflicts soon arose, however. The victorious Western powers wanted to reconstruct Germany on the basis of freedom and democracy. The Soviet Union, in contrast, took its own Communist social system as a model. Berlin became one of the most important scenes of the struggles that have gone down in history as the Cold War. More than once, the cold war seemed about to become a hot one. Nevertheless, German unification in 1989/90 proceeded in peace and freedom. What role did the Western powers play in this process? Above all: How did they come to leave the city again after nearly 50 years as partners and friends? The traces of this eventful period are still present on the historic site today. The Allied Museum is located in the heart of the former American Sector. Alongside the permanent exhibition, our temporary exhibitions address a variety of relevant topics. Events, film screenings, and guided tours of the exhibitions round out the program.
Fantastic museum and a real insight of what allied forces in Germany was like
