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

-Current Main Hall Exhibit-

Going Green! - An examination of how to help the environment.

This exhibit features simple and effective ways to preserve those pristine elements of our planet and to reclaim those areas that have been spoiled. Stunning photographs from around the world and information about the damage that has already been done by humankind greet the visitor. Although the facts of our poor stewardship are very sobering, there is hope! Simple lifestyle changes and awareness of our own impact on our immediate and global environment can and does make a difference.

OPEN HOUSE - July 10 at 2:00pm. Refreshments will be served.

Free and Open to the Public through August 31!

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.
