The Allied Museum (German: AlliiertenMuseum) is a museum in Berlin.
It documents the political history and the commitments and military roles of the western allies (United States, France and Great Britain) in Germany - in particular Berlin - between 1945 and 1994 and their contribution to freedom in Berlin during the era of the cold war .
The museum is located on Clayallee, an arterial road named after General Lucius D. Clay (1898-1978), in the Dahlem district in the southwestern district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf.
Until German reunification in 1990, the area was located in the American sector of post-war West Berlin.
The buildings near the headquarters of the US Army housed an American cinema, called Outpost, and the Nicholson Memorial Library. The museum was inaugurated in 1998, on the fiftieth anniversary of the Berlin airlift, in the presence of Chancellor Helmut Kohl.
Admission is free.
Since closing the Berlin Tempelhof Airport in 2008, the Allied Museum has announced its interest in moving to the old airport at a certain time.
