A lot to see. There is are two exhibitions in the middle and then permanent collections on either side with books and artifacts. There is a lot still in boxes that they are plan to put items online. The space is used well. The sculpture garden was small and peaceful.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
The Wende is absolutely wonderful. Their collections are well curated and interesting, and the fact that they are offered for free is stupendous. Definitely a great spot to visit on a day in Culver.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
We went to the opening reception of the exhibition “China: Deconstructing Ideology: The Cultural Revolution and Beyond”. It was our first time at this museum and we were pleasantly surprised by it. The exhibit was interesting, informative and even interactive there was a spot where you could write postcards with their stamps and typewriter. They also had additional exhibits which could include a little bit more info on specific items displayed and not just about the overall window theme. Something to consider: training the staff a little more on the exhibits. While walking around with two guests, one of the staff was acting as a guide but some of the information they provided was wrong- pretty strange at such a small and specific establishment.
Don't forget about their outdoor exhibits! I really enjoyed the Wende Museum for the interesting exhibits about how the Cold War was framed in Soviet Russia. There was also a cool section in the back of the museum about Jews in Russia. And lastly, the outdoor exhibit had more items about Jewish life in Russia. It's a beautiful museum to visit in Culver City. And it's free! They also change out the exhibits regularly. There is also free parking at the museum and next to the park.
See the photo exhibit and video of David Bowie in Russia. It's there until October. Free parking and admission. I recommend the docent tour. You'll learn so much about the museum and the exhibit s!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree
This museum had a pretty rare exhibit of oil paintings from Soviet Union that you don't really see that often. They also have a few pieces on display from the cold war period. Museum is pretty small and didn't take a lot of time to go through.
Visited here for the first time last weekend. The museum staff was great and made us feel welcome. Staff asks how you heard of the museum and your zip code but that’s as far as it goes for “admission”. The art is varied, paintings, audiovisual works and collections of various classifications. This is a good visit for history buffs , those looking to do something different on a weekend, and parents looking for activities An added bonus ,a kid specific event on certain Sundays call for details insert this into a weekend as a kids activity, and if by some great mystery your child gets bored,there is always Veterans Park right across the street!
I think this museum is really cool and unique for LA! It has a lot of art and artifacts from the DDR which is even more rare. I do wish that the museum has more context for the pieces and more information about them though. Also as an aside, the outdoor area is really cute
Great and FREE museum that is as relevant today as it will be tomorrow! Beautiful garden exhibits too.
This is more a museum of socialist realism art from the Eastern Bloc than it is a museum about the Cold War. I’m giving three stars not for the collection or museum itself but for the curation. On one plaque you’ll see comments about how museums and schools pick and choose which history/artifacts to present, and so it is power structures that determine the narrative of history....then go on on another plaque to pick and choose information that fits a certain narrative and opinion, like the plaque below commenting on covid-19, thus perpetuating the very same “institutionalized selective narrative” they are questioning. TLDR: Curation biased towards postmodern ideology. If that’s your cup of tea, great. If not, probs not your museum.
