From the post-World War II era to the early 1990s, the Soviet Union and the United States competed for global dominance. Through propaganda, military buildup, and political maneuvering, each nation took significant efforts to portray the other as the enemy in what became known as the Cold War. As tensions heightened with the threat of nuclear warfare, the fate of humanity hung in the balance.
On display from Jan 11 - December 17, 2027, Frontlines of the Cold War: Georgia, America, and a Divided World examines how the global standoff shaped Georgia’s growing military infrastructure and, on a larger scale, American politics, civic life, and debates over national identity and international engagement. The legacy continues to drive modern-day decisions and global policymaking, leaving a permanent and enduring impact.
