Cold War Treasure Chest - The Wende Museum
Did you know that the biggest archive of Cold War artifacts is in Los Angeles? Only a colorful piece of the Berlin Wall in front of the main entrance hints at the hidden treasure inside a nondescript office building. Personal documents, photos, flags, uniforms, paintings, Vladimir Lenin busts, spy equipment, toys, films, dishes, scrap books, furniture, newspapers, communist street signs - more than 70 thousand items fill three story shelves in a warehouse like basement.
