HOME

The Peace Museum's exhibits are designed to inform, inspire and instigate.

 

For each exhibit, information cards are posted that list discussion points and suggested follow-up activities. The cards are written for three educational levels:

elementary, intermediate

and young adult.

The information presented informs the viewer about some historic or contemporary peace and/or social justice issue.

The visual appeal of these exhibits inspires the viewer to pause and reflect carefully with compassion and concern.

Having toured these quality exhibits, visitors are instigated to actively pursue a personal, proactive and nonviolent response to "inspire a culture of peace."

 

Our exhibits can only come alive with your support! Please

A Permanent Exhibit on 
Sister Dorothy Stang.

The Peace Museum honors Dayton-native Sister Dorothy Stang with an exhibit in the Dayton room. 


Sister Dorothy spent half her life in Brazil and the Amazon, starting in 1966. She joined the religious order of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in Cincinnati in 1948. She remained active in the order until her brutal killing on February 12, 2005. Throughout her life her message was peace and nonviolent activism.

Sister Dorothy worked to save the Amazon from deforestation by lumberjacks, wealthy cattle ranchers and soybean farmers. Brazil exports these products at growing costs to the earth's environment. She championed a movement of peasants encouraging campaigns for sustainable use of the rain forest. This moving exhibit of singular courage remains a part of our permanent collection.
