Special Exhibition
Photos and Signs from the Collection of the Allied Museum

June 13 - November 2002

With its current exhibit "Photos and Signs" on display until Nov. 10, 2002, the Allied Museum is exhibiting a large portion of its own photograph collection for the first time, with. approximately 120 slides and framed prints. But rather than developing a purely photographic exhibit, the Museum instead decided to present the photos along with an array of Allied signs; thus the title "Photos and Signs."

The museum's collection includes about 400 signs and several thousand photographs. The photos and signs span several decades and portray various aspects of the Allied presence - from their facilities to their military activities. The exhibition will remind visitors of how the cityscape of West Berlin was influenced by the presence of the Western forces.

Admission is free of charge.
