Kawasaki Peace Museum

The Kawasaki Peace Museum is a peace education institution in Kizuki-Sumiyoshichō with multiple exhibition spaces. The galleries display artifacts, documents, and digital presentations that illustrate how warfare affects communities and people.

The museum was established in April 1992 as part of Japan's commitment to peace education following the country's transformation after World War II. This founding reflected a broader effort to address wartime experiences and promote peace.

The exhibition halls show personal stories from people who experienced conflict through photographs, letters, and recorded testimonies. These accounts help visitors understand the human impact of war directly.

The museum offers guided tours in multiple languages and educational workshops for school groups. A research library focused on peace studies is available to help visitors explore the subject further.

The institution collaborates with other peace institutions worldwide and regularly exchanges traveling exhibitions. These international partnerships create a global network of places dedicated to peace education.
