The Peace Museum

The Peace Museum is a museum in Bradford dedicated to documenting peace movements worldwide. The collection holds around 16,000 objects including banners, personal items, campaign materials, and artworks that show the diversity of peace initiatives.

The museum was founded in 1994 to preserve the history of peace initiatives and non-violent movements. It grew from the need to safeguard these important records and testimonies for future generations.

The museum displays objects from peace movements across different cultures and shows through these collections how various societies have approached conflict resolution. Visitors can see how people from different regions worked for peace and experience their stories through personal items and artworks.

The museum is located on the third floor of Salts Mill and is therefore accessible by elevator. Researchers, students, and groups can inquire about tours and available resources before their visit.

This is the only accredited institution in the United Kingdom dedicated exclusively to collecting and exhibiting materials from peace movements. This specialized role makes it an important place for anyone wanting to learn more about non-violent resistance and peace initiatives.
