Draft:Peace Museum Vienna

Peace Museum Vienna was founded on June 21, 2014, on the anniversary of the death of Bertha Von Suttner, the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It is located at Blutgasse 3/1. The central belief for the museum is that peace education is essential for creating a more peaceful world.

Peace Museum Vienna is a very ambitious and meaningful project located in  Vienna, Austria’s capital city. The museum strives to contribute to  world peace by educating the public about peace heroes. The museum provides a physical space, which serves as a meeting point for discussions on peace, an exhibition hall, a center for the presentation of movies and documentaries as well as its wonderful peace kitchen events. It is also an educational meeting point and offers information sources for students, teachers, professors, and general visitors. Peace education is the central to both the current and long-term vision of Peace Museum Vienna.

Peace Museum Vienna is also known for its  ‘Windows for Peace’ project which is the first World’s Street Peace Museum. As a street museum, it is open twenty four hours a day and charges no admission fees! The ‘Windows for Peace’ are concentrated in and around Stephansplatz in the center of Vienna. The windows are accompanied by posters and brief biographies of Peace Heroes.

PMV is committed to spreading the message of peace through various peace education programs, exhibitions, inspirational meetings and open dialogue.
