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.
