Welcome to The International Peace Museum

Our mission is to inspire people to work for greater peace and compassion through education and collaboration.

Founded in 2004, The International Peace Museum raises awareness of nonviolent strategies for achieving peace now and in the future. It honors the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords that ended the war in Bosnia. The Dayton International Peace Museum was founded by J. Frederick Arment, Ralph and Christine Dull, Steve Fryburg and Lisa Wolters.

Testimonials

Very warm and friendly staff and an informative exhibit! As someone with family from the Balkans, it was really great to see such accurate and thorough information presented in an understandable and informative way. They also had really lovely art exhibits and interesting stories related to peace studies. Highly recommend paying the Peace Museum a visit!

This is a thoughtful and progressive place with friendly people - a nice place to visit on a weekend; doesn't take too long to see everything.
