Atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima

When two atom bombs fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 killing 350 000 people we said a third atom bomb will not fall.  But today the nuclear weapons stockpile has reached an all time high of 30 000 in only 10 countries including India and Pakistan. The star war bombs jingle and dangle 2.5 kilograms of dynamite over everybody’s heads on this planet! In the last 5000 years of human history there have been only 147 years of peace. Rest of the days and years have been spent on killing each other. The History of Man is the history of War.

The idea of the Peace Museum springs from the fact that present day children and youth are unaware of ignorant of the dangers of war, existence of armies, defense expenditures
all linked up with their daily life. It endeavors to produce a culture of Peace. To include all in the processes of producing peace.
