The Tehran Peace Museum promotes a culture of peace, by offering awareness programs about the consequences of war. The museum coordinates a peace education program that holds workshops on humanitarian law, disarmament, tolerance, and peace education. At the same time, it hosts conferences on the culture of peace, reconciliation, international humanitarian law, disarmament, and peace advocacy.
Currently housed in a building donated by the municipality of Tehran within the historic city parc, the Tehran Peace Museum is as much an interactive peace center as a museum. The Iranian secretariat of the international organisation Mayors for Peace is also housed in this building. Additionally, the museum maintains a documentation centre for the individual stories of victims of warfare and its library includes a collection of literature spanning topics from international law to the implementation of peace to oral histories of veterans and victims of war.
