Meet Dr. Christian F. Ostermann, Executive Director of the National Cold War Center and one of the world’s leading experts on Cold War history!

An award-winning historian and founding director of the History and Public Policy Program at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C., Dr. Ostermann has spent decades studying the global impact of the Cold War.

“The ideological and geopolitical battle between capitalism and communism defined our global politics for almost half a century, resulting in a nuclear arms race, regional wars and cultural and technological changes that remain vital here in the 21st century,” he said. “Our vision is for a state-of-the-art museum that tells the story of the Cold War as lived history and connects with younger generations.”

We’re grateful for Dr. Ostermann’s leadership and expertise as he helps guide the vision for the National Cold War Center.
