About this spot

This museum, built adjacent to the Forest Park, is operated with the aim of passing on the memory of war and the importance of peace to future generations. Its exhibits are designed to be easy for children to understand, making it a good opportunity for families to discuss war and peace together. Admission is free, and since the museum is air-conditioned, it also serves as a place to escape the summer heat and rest. It's a fitting place for a quiet, calming moment before the summer festival.

Tips

It's reassuring to check opening hours and closed days in advance. Depending on the exhibits, it can help to explain the content to small children as you go.
