An anti-war museum first opened in Berlin in 1925 to highlight why it was so important for the Great War of 1914-18 never to be repeated. Of course, the German capital would be at the centre of conflict a lot more in the 20th century.

Following another world war, the Holocaust, and the city’s division by a wall in the Cold War, the current incarnation of the Anti-Kriegs-Museum opened in 1982. A small space run by volunteers and mostly financed by donations, its goal is to promote peace through acknowledgement of the disastrous consequences of warfare across the globe.
