Women's Active Museum on War and Peace

The Women's Active Museum on War and Peace features exhibits, documents, testimonies, and multimedia presentations about women's experiences during conflicts throughout history.

The museum opened in August 2005, marking the sixtieth anniversary of World War II's end, with funding from donations collected through a 100 million yen campaign.

The museum maintains records and materials related to military sexual slavery, preserving survivor testimonies and tribunal documents for future generations.

Located in the AVACO Building's second floor, the museum provides educational workshops, guided tours, and access to an extensive digital archive of historical materials.

This institution stands as Japan's only museum dedicated to documenting and addressing violence against women in war and conflict situations.
