The Cold War lasted from 1945 until 1990. While the nuclear threat hovered over the world, people played, and they also played Cold War.
The exhibition “ColdWarGames – It’s All a Game“ is dedicated to games from and about the Cold War era. Discover the world of board games in the 1960s and 1970s and find out why a strategy game was branded as dangerous for children. Explore a GDR computer club and test your skills on the GDR’s only arcade machine. Get to know the current games about the Cold War and let us know what you think: Is it all just a game?
The exhibition is organized in cooperation with the Computerspielemuseum (Museum of Computer Games) and will be on view at the Allied Museum from October 2, 2025 until June 30, 2026.
