Diego de Henriquez War Museum for Peace

The collection contains documents relating to both World Wars, but the centenary year of the outbreak of the Great War was considered an appropriate time to open the new museum, with most of the available space reserved for exhibits related to that earlier conflict, some of them unique and extraordinary. The first part of the museum was opened with an emphasis on inclusivity, as its creator wished. It was not a war museum as commonly understood, but a museum of twentieth century society at war, with its demons and horrors, struggling in hope along the long and difficult path towards a lasting peace.
