Kawasaki Peace Museum (川崎市平和館, Kawasaki-shi Heiwa-kan) is a peace museum that opened in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, in 1992.[1] The permanent display adopts a holistic approach, presenting poverty, hunger, and environmental issues alongside war as barriers to peace.[2] The museum is one of ten institutions that came together in 1994 to establish the Association of Japanese Museums for Peace (日本平和博物館会議).[3]
