The Osaka International Peace Center "Peace Osaka" opened in a corner of Osaka Castle Park in 1991. It reopened in April 2015 as a peace museum that continues to tell the story of the Osaka air raids. In addition to commemorating the victims of the Osaka air raids and praying for peace, the museum exhibits materials related to the war experiences of Osaka residents, with a focus on the air raids. It also has a library and a video corner, where you can borrow books on war and world peace, as well as panels, picture-story shows, and videos for peace education. The auditorium, which can accommodate 160 people, also hosts anime and film screenings, lectures, and concerts.
