Sierra Leone Peace Museum
The Sierra Leone Peace Museum opened its doors at the end of 2013, just over ten years after the end of Sierra Leone’s decade-long conflict. The Museum stands on the site of the Special Court of Sierra Leone (SCSL) as a permanent national institution dedicated to preserving the truth, honouring the conflict’s many victims, and promoting lasting peace.
The Peace Museum includes a memorial to victims, an exhibit which documents and narrates the war’s history and the peace process, and an archive and law library containing an unparalleled collection of documents relating to the conflict, including the public records of the SCSL and of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The Museum also serves as a training facility, continuing to strengthen the justice sector after the SCSL’s closure.
