The Museum is also working with the privately owned International Spy Museum in Washington, Diefenbunker, Canada's Cold War Museum in Ottawa, and the Atombunker Harnekop near Berlin to temporarily display some of its artifacts. The Cold War Museum has a chapter in the American Midwest based in Waukesha, Wisconsin and a chapter in Berlin.
