Abstract: In this paper we study the cohomology of (strict) Lie 2-groups. We obtain an explicit Bott-Shulman type map in the case of a Lie 2-group corresponding to the crossed module $Ao1$. The cohomology of the Lie 2-groups corresponding to the universal crossed modules $GoAut(G)$ and $GoAu{t}^{+}(G)$ is the abutment of a spectral sequence involving the cohomology of $$ and $$. When the dimension of the center of $G$ is less than 3, we compute explicitly these cohomology groups. We also compute the cohomology of the Lie 2-group corresponding to a crossed module $GoH$ whose kernel is compact and cokernel is connected, simply connected and compact and apply the result to the string 2-group.
