‘The Menace of Chemical Warfare to Civilian Populations’ Pamphlet by Arthur J. Gillian.

On the 7th May, to coincide with VE Day, The Peace Museum was supposed to open a new exhibition funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Donate

The Peace Museum is a charity and does not receive any government funding or local authority funding. In order to enable the museum to extend and develop its investment in access, education, community outreach, research, acquisitions and conservation we must generate significant additional income. This is achieved through raising money from the private sector through sponsorships, grants and individual donations. Even the smallest donation makes a difference.
