First International Conference of Museums for Peace
The first International Conference of Peace Museums was held in 1992, in Bradford (UK). It was organised by the British Give Peace a Chance Trust, bringing together, for the first time, the management and staff of peace museums, anti-war museums and similar institutions worldwide. Over 30 representatives from 10 countries (including Australia, Japan and the United States) met up to exchange experiences and make a start on future cooperation.
It was during this conference that the idea for periodic conferences and for an International Network of Peace Museums arose.
