18 May, on International Museum Day, a record 2,000 people visited the «Voices» exhibition at the multimedia space of the «Voices of Peace» museum, created by the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation. This was reported to the internet publication «GORDON» by the project team.
The «Voices» exhibition is dedicated to preserving the memory of people affected by military conflicts, promoting peace and reconciliation, and calling for the protection of human rights in times of war. The multimedia space of the «Voices of Peace» museum was created as a platform for dialogue, education and public involvement in the search for solutions to conflicts.
Since its opening in 2018, the «Voices» exhibition has become a powerful tool for raising awareness about the consequences of war and promoting the values of peace. The exhibition features personal stories of people from different countries who have experienced the horrors of war firsthand. The voices of veterans, refugees, civilians, and families of victims can be heard through interactive installations, video testimonies, and interactive maps. This creates a powerful emotional impact on visitors, making them reflect on the consequences of war and the importance of promoting peace.
On International Museum Day, the «Voices» exhibition welcomed a record number of people. Almost 2,000 visitors came to the «Voices of Peace» museum to experience the powerful and thought-provoking exhibition. The project team was delighted to see such a large turnout and to witness the impact it had on the visitors.
«The fact that 2,000 people came to the exhibition on International Museum Day shows that there is a great demand for promoting peace and preserving the memory of war victims. We are grateful to all the visitors who came to support our project and learn more about the important message we are trying to convey,» shared a member of the project team in an interview with «GORDON».
The success of the «Voices» exhibition can also be attributed to its unique approach. Unlike traditional museums, where visitors are passive observers, the «Voices of Peace» museum encourages active participation and reflection. Visitors are encouraged to share their own stories, thoughts, and hopes for peace on interactive screens and exhibits. This creates a sense of community and sparks important discussions among visitors.
Moreover, the exhibition has received a lot of recognition and praise from visitors and experts alike. It has been awarded several prestigious international awards, such as the European Museum Award and the European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage/Europa Nostra Award. The «Voices» exhibition has also been featured in various media outlets, raising awareness and reaching a wider audience.
The «Voices» exhibition is a testament to the power of art and storytelling in promoting peace and reconciliation. The personal stories shared within the exhibition serve as a reminder of the human cost of war and the need for dialogue and understanding among nations. By creating a space for reflection and active participation, the «Voices of Peace» museum is making a positive impact and inspiring visitors to take action towards a more peaceful world.
The success of the «Voices» exhibition on International Museum Day demonstrates the great interest and support for promoting peace and preserving the memory of war victims. The project team continues to work hard to make the «Voices of Peace» museum a platform for education, dialogue, and public involvement in promoting peace. By raising awareness about the consequences of war and promoting the values of peace, the «Voices» exhibition is making a positive impact and bringing people together to strive towards a more peaceful and understanding world.
