Project Outline
The Imphal Peace Museum was successfully opened in the state of Manipur in Northeast India on June 22, 2019. With financial support provided by The Nippon Foundation, this project aims to strengthen the museum’s governance structure, develop the capabilities of museum staff and curators, and work to enhance the quality of the museum’s programs and exhibits to ensure the successful operation and administration of the museum. Activities include arranging exchange programs that both send experts to visit Northeast India as well as welcome museum stakeholders to Japan, conducting interviews with war survivors to collect oral histories, commissioning data collection, and creating special exhibitions. Through these activities, this project aims to ensure that the Imphal Peace Museum, which has garnered widespread attention within India and around the world, will maintain its high standards as a museum based on rigorous historical research with universal message for peace, and, act as a platform for peace education to promote mutual understanding and multiculturalism and to pass down the region’s history to future generations.
