PRESIDENT
Nelson Mandela is known throughout the world as the person who did so much to liberate
South Africans from the long horror of apartheid. He is also known as South Africas first
democratic president, as a leader deeply committed to reconciliation, and as a great
international statesman. Indeed, his contribution has gone well beyond South Africas own
story, and he come to represent the highest human aspirations integrity, commitment to
others, sacrifice and forgiveness.
Representations of Mandela are sometimes however, simplistic. His life can be read as a
fairy tale, in which he emerges as the handsome prince, bravely riding in to rescue his
people. In fact Mandelas story is complex, and his role is best understood when we
recognise him as a key player in much bigger picture. His life story is intertwined with the
historic forces at play in South Africa in the 20th century. He has shaped these forces and
has been shaped by them. And like all human beings, Mandela is fallible, and his mistakes
are part of his history. He also has a personal story, one that has played out in the public
eye. He is a heroic human being, but a human being nonetheless.
This exhibition tries to represent Mandelas life story in all its complexity. It covers every
chapter of his long and productive life, but avoids a simple chronological description. Instead
Mandelas history is told through six themes which represent aspects and periods of his life.
These are:
1. Character his formative years
2. Comrade- his entry into resistance politics
3. Leader his emergence as a key personality in anti-apartheid struggle
4. Prisoner the long and cruel years on Robben Island and other prisons
5. Negotiator the man who painstakingly led a long and complex negotiation toward
democracy
6. Statesman South Africas first democratic president and a world leader of great stature
The story is told through large scale exhibition panels featuring historic photographs which
tell the story along with the narrative text. These include many family photographs, including
some that have not been published previously. The design of the exhibition is distinctive,
Page 9 of 83
using modern digital techniques in conjunction with historic images. The exhibition also
takes a number of innovative forms and features a range of original art works including:
A maquette of a large scale outdoor artwork by Marco Cianfanelli, consisting of 50
separate steel poles which form an image of Mandelas face when viewed from a certain
angle
Beaded portraits of Mandela, created by Impumelelo, a collective of rural women artists
A series of cartoons, first published in various newspapers during the course of Mandelas
post-prison life, by the cartoonist and satirist, Zapiro
A photographic portrait of Mandela by the well known South African photographer, David
Goldblatt
9 short films showing aspects of Mandela life including dramatic historic footage
Large scale overhead banners depicting the broader political context in which the struggle
against apartheid took place
The exhibition also creates an opportunity to understand the way in which Mandela is
represented in various South African museums, including the Apartheid Museum, Robben
Island, Mandela House and the Capture Site. One of the issues we explore is that way in
which Mandela has used his powerful presence and considerable good looks to great
political effect, both before and after his prison years.
Through these media, the viewer is able to absorb many aspects of Mandelas life, and to
reflect on the extraordinary impact that he made on modern South Africa. His contribution
spanned a period beyond seventy years, and has touched almost every aspect of South
African life. The viewer is also invited to reflect on the immense sacrifices made by Mandela,
his family and comrades, and many ordinary South Africans, in the long and painful battle
against apartheid. Finally we hope that the viewer will take some aspect of this story into
their own lives as they experience the epic and moving drama that is the life of Nelson
Rolihlahla Mandela.

The Centro Documentazione Manifesto Pacifista Internazionale CDMPI (International Peace Poster Documentation Centre) appeals the
importance of peace through pacifist posters. The collection consists of
subjects representing different ideas and activities of the various pacifist
movements, such as: nonviolent popular defense, peace and economy,
disarmament and hunger, and peace education. They represent only a very
small fraction of the posters that have been printed, but they are valued as both a
contemporary attitude and as a way to preserve historical memory.
The goal of the CDMPI is to disseminate the values of peace and nonviolence through
cultural initiatives which mainly consist of exhibitions of pacifist posters. The organisation
aims at promoting the largest participation in building peace with the instruments of
nonviolence.
The collection, housed in the Casa per la Pace 'La Filanda' in Casalecchio di Reno
(Bologna) since 2006, includes posters from Italian and international pacifist movements as
well as pacifist posters about Gulf wars, ecology-peace-environment, the Third World,
human rights, international cooperation and handwritten posters.

In the spirit of Dag Hammerskjld, the Fredens Hus (House of Peace) provides knowledge
about peace issues with a broad perspective. The museum is a base for information and
opinion-forming activities such as exhibitions and lectures for the general public, as well as
broad educational programmes aimed at young people on issues of peace and conflict,
human rights, racism, violence and sustainable development.
The Fredens Hus displays exhibitions on vulnerability, human rights and the Swedish peace
activists Dag Hammarskjold, Folke Bernadotte and Raoul Wallenberg. They also conduct
educational and recreational activities for young people, to work on issues related to
prejudice, racism, discrimination and violence. The Swedish Inheritance Fund supports their
project Breaking Stereotypes, in which the museum works hard to create new educational
tools for low, intermediate, junior high and high school.

EASTERN CONGO
In the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo thousands of women and girls are
being raped as a weapon of war, to punishing the society to which they belong. Most cases
are gang rapes and often involve mutilation of the women's genitals with guns or sticks,
sometimes in front of their family and neighbours. Rape victims suffer permanent damage to
the reproductive system, increased risk of HIV / AIDS infection, and life-long mental health
problems. In Congo - where female virginity is highly valued and husbands of rape victims
are considered profane - these women are shunned by their families and society. Legal aid
is rare and impunity for perpetrators of sexual violence is still a major issue.
Sexual Violence in Eastern Congo portrays a less shown side of the war in Congo. The
exhibition is about how rape as a weapon has become a strategy to keep the population in
fear and create total chaos. It is about a strategy that focuses on civil society and clearly
exposes women and the victimization of children in war zones.
For more information and reservation, please contact Fredens Hus.

This exhibition highlights the causes and processes around Forgiveness, Reconciliation,
Genocide and Oppression. Forgiveness and reconciliation have different meanings to
different people in different situations, and need not presuppose each other. But both terms
will always require active choice of use. Is it possible to forgive the unforgivable? This
exhibition shows how ideas about forgiveness, reconciliation and conflict resolution can be
used to positively affect people's lives, by displaying personal testimonies from victims and
perpetrators. Profound change, compassion and understanding are processes that take time.
Experience shows that by inviting people to share their different perspectives they can
create change and provide alternatives to conflict and revenge.

The mission of the Global Art Project for Peace is to joyously create a culture of peace
through art. The project spreads world peace by promoting tolerance and nonviolence. It

The new permanent exhibition of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum
The Humanitarian Adventure is an introduction to contemporary humanitarian action,
breaking away from traditional museology. A visit starts as an experience and ends as a
description of strong messages embedded in the visitors emotions.
Three internationally acclaimed architects from different cultural backgrounds used their
talents for this new exhibition organized around three different themes: Defending Human
Dignity (Gringo Cardia, Brazil), Restoring Family Links (Dibdo Francis Kr, Burkina
Faso), and Reducing Natural Risks (Shigeru Ban, Japan). They were managed by Atelier O
(Switzerland). These contemporary issues are of concern in troubled, historical periods and
present-day conflict zones, but also to each of us today and, in a wider perspective, will
affect our common future for decades to come.
Within each theme, the visitors first of all enter a phase which aims at raising awareness
during which they live through an intense emotional experience. A second stage provides
them with information and historical background, reminding them that the Red Cross is the
oldest and largest humanitarian organisation in the world.
An interactive chronology unfurls 150 years of humanitarian history, while On the Spot
enables you to track Red Cross and Red Crescent Operations right around the globe.

A PEACEFUL WARRIOR: JOHN RABE
On 13 December 1937, Japanese invaders captured Nanjing and
committed the Nanjing Massacre. A German businessman, together with
other foreigners, built a Noahs Ark, a Safety Zone within an area of less
than 4 square kilometers. This German was called John Rabe. He
protected 250.000 Chinese refugees in this peaceful way, which
contributed much to world peace.

RESEARCH, MACEDONIA
The Museum Peace, Security and Defense Research in the Republic of Macedonia has
two departments: the Department for Military History and the Department for Peacekeeping
Operations. The latter collects, researches and exhibits historical items and documents
related to the country's peace processes and the Army of the Republic of Macedonia's
peacekeeping operations abroad under UN, NATO and EU command.
The museum was opened in 2006 as Military Museum in the military barracks Goce Delcev

Macedonia decided to reform and restructure this Military Museum and moved the
organization in the building of the National Museum of Macedonia. On 7 December 2012,
the museum was officially renamed to Museum of Peace, Security and Defense Research.
The museums have an UNESCO certificate and work together with Skopje's archeological,
ethnological and historical museums, such as the Museum of Holocaust and the Memorial
Museum of Mother Teresa. Macedonia is the homeland of 1979 Nobel Peace Prize Winner
Mother Theresa.

My Peace Palace Collection started in 2005, when Vincent Stittelaar scoured flea markets,
antique shops and the internet for any item connected to the Peace Palace in The Hague.
The collection currently holds more than 1000 objects, varying from kitchen ware and textile
to various books, boxes and all kinds of souvenirs. Stittelaar is still collecting new
memorabilia and wants to participate in and organise exhibitions.
On the Peace Palace Centenary (28 August 2013) the website was launched as a virtual
Peace Palace Museum. The aim is to share this collection of Peace Palace memorabilia,
including knowledge about both Hague peace conferences, with anyone who is interested,
and eventually to build a Hague peace museum that would educate about The Hague's
historical judicial roots as International City of Peace and Justice.

There is a need to educate people about the differences between a conventional bomb and
a nuclear bomb, and about the costs and impact of nuclear tests. Toward this end, the Indian
Institute for Peace, Disarmament & Environmental Protection (IIPDEP) established the No
More Hiroshima: No More Nagasaki: Peace Museum on 6 August 1996 in Nagpur, India.
The museum opened in a large hall in the city's commercial district. Their aims are to raise
public awareness and put pressure on the government to make the world a better place to
live.
The museum provides public education and awareness towards peace and disarmament,
especially about nuclear weapons. Along with information on the Holocaust, the permanent
exhibition shows photos of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as well as
images of India's nuclear test site in Pokharan. The photo panels were donated by the
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum and an
association of A-bomb survivors in Japan.
A travelling exhibition on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, offered by the IIPDEP, is included in our
exhibitions section.

Five young volunteers from the Tehran Peace Museum participated in a cultural and
educational exchange with the Kyoto Museum for World Peace, from 24 September to 3
October. During their visit they participated in several cultural events, including Ritsumeikan
University classes. They visited local museums and learned about methods of working for
peace. In exchange they gave presentations about the use of chemical weapons, the
Tehran Peace Museum and Iranian culture. INMP board member Dr. Kazuyo Yamane,
vice-director of the Kyoto Museum for World Peace, and museum volunteers, played a
major role in hosting the visit.

The Peace Museum is the only museum dedicated to the history and (often untold) stories
of peace, peacemakers and peace movements in the UK.
They aim to engage, inform and inspire through:
items in the collection and exhibitions
learning and education activities for all sectors of the community, schools, colleges
and universities
focusing on local, national and international people, events and stories
posing questions about equality, diversity, cohesion, peace and non-violence
telling untold stories of peacemakers and peace-making
The museum asks visitors to consider peace and peace-making as an active, as opposed to
passive, endeavour, a challenge and something that requires effort, asking What could you
do?, What story will you tell?
The Peace Museum current exhibitions are included in our exhibitions section.

Women for Non Violence in Peace and Conflict Zones is designed to inform civilian and
military survivors of gender-based violence about the welfare of those affected, especially in
armed conflict and unstable regions of the world. The project is under development and they
expect to focus on survivors' rights of women from Far East Asian backgrounds to fulfill a
niche by empowering them with information about UN resolutions and instruments.
The Women4Nonviolence website was created initially in response to both civilian and
mililtary survivor groups who wished to catch up on the latest developments regarding
UNSCR 1325 on women, peace and security (and allied resolutions) and their impact at The
Hague. The site also intends to facilitate communication with its users globally to initiate and
to catalyze positive action.
