The goal of promoting adult learning in public places e.g. through the work of museums has become commonplace in countries seeking to encourage adult learning about peace. This invariably entails a ‘hands on’ approach to peace education through a process of consultation and dialogue with the concerned communities. These aims are particularly important when the municipality is looking at issues of peace, as in the case of the two Asian case studies discussed in this article with societies recoveringfrom a post-conflict situation. These case studies will have especial interest for adult educators in Ireland. In the International Year of Reconciliation in 2009 the Consultative Group on the Past had published its recommendations, includinga Commission for Victims and Survivors for Northern Ireland (CVSNI). This paper will show how adult learning in a public milieu can contribute meaningfully to a reconciliation process.  \nIntroduction  \nIn promoting adult learning in public places, the governments of Japan and Cambodia, have sought to convey a message of peace, and peace museumsand peace architecture provide inspiring and enjoyable opportunities for learners to make meaning in their own way. This is adult learning in the most public of places and it is also about creating a municipal culture of peace. Nowhere can these goals be more important than when societies are recovering from conflict.  \nPrevious Back to contents Next  \nMunicipal authorities can often make a significant contribution to peace education with adult audiences and thereby encourage an inclusive approach to community peace-building. In looking at the potential for adult education this article explores the emergence of peace museums and the salient issues raised for the wider subject of exhibiting peace. It does this through a discussion of two case studies drawn from the experience of Japan and Cambodia. The experience of this unique form of adult learning in Asia has considerable relevance for what we might be able to achieve in Ireland.  \nIn the twentieth century, Japan and Cambodia endured traumatic human losses. In Japan this arose from the post-WW2 legacy of the Atomic bomb, and in Cambodia, in the wake of the Khmer Rouge’s mid-1970s indiscriminate programme of ‘auto-genocide.’ The respective recent histories of Japan and Cambodia are appropriate exemplars ofthe problems and possibilities that arise as societies earnestly confront the potentially contentious issues of societal reconciliation and peace memorialisation.  \nPeace through peace museums and peace architecture  \nThe general public will often view museums more as ‘custodians of war memorabilia’ than as ‘purveyors ofa vision of peace.’ Thus at the launch of America’s first embryonic ‘Peace Museum’ in Chicago in 1981, its founding director, Marianne Philbin regretted that war memorials were so ubiquitous while her country (by contrast) still possessed ‘no proper museum dedicated to building peace.’ It has taken much independent initiative to progress the goal of peace memorialisation and so to exhibit those (often intangible) fragments of physical and cultural heritage that might constitute ‘a lexicon of peace.’ Such an object is meritorious in any part of the world but the challenge is all the more worthy and compelling in countries possessing a recent history as tragic as Japan and Cambodia.  \nIn the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, the Genocide Museum at Tuol Sleng is a visible memory of a society’s cavernous physical and mental wounds while across its municipal landscape, Japan’s atomic legacy still looms formidably within living experience.
