👍 In connection with the theme of the museum, it is a must visit. However, in terms of both presentation and treatment, enough remains to be done to improve its overall picture. People often mention museum, visit,

Όσον αφορά, όμως, τη παρουσίαση όσο και τη περιποίηση πρέπει να γίνουν ακόμα αρκετά, ώστε να βελτιωθεί η συνολική του εικόνα.

    The Sierra Leone Peace Museum is a quite new museum and a great experience over my stay in the country. It opened after the 10-year conflict in SL and is dedicated to preserving the history of the conflict and promoting peace. Paintings, documentation reflect the situation over the decade conflict which end up to the loss of life of many people. Inside the museum Special Court of Sierra Leone is located. Very interesting to see the building although entrance was not allowed. The guide we had was very nice, analytical and explained the exhibition very well. There was no entrance ticket when we visited, but we just provided a tip to the guide at the end. Highly recommended!

    "Sad" is the word that comes to mind due to the subject of the museum. The photos and exhibit items tell the story of SL's brutal civil war. The War still haunts many of the people who lived through it, and who may have also been unwilling participants. It's difficult to rate these museums, partly because, who's standards do you use? SL's museums are not what you would expect in the USA, most of Europe, or other developed countries, but they do tell the intended story, even if in a rudimentary manner.

    This is an important museum in Sierra Leone. Thanks to Patrick and Abubakar for the tour and for answering all our questions. It is not an easy story, but it is important that it is told and they are doing a great job.

    It's actually nice,but I found myself strange to reach it. I found it more interesting in seeing our warriors' statues,like Bai Bureh,Sengbeh pieh,etc. I wished I could have seen them reality. I have learnt enough. To see how artistic people are like the ones who painted and carved these things,is so beautiful. I love it!

    Severely underfunded by the government but important. Hopefully others will visit to support the institution.

    Another irresponsible personel on this venue. They advertised in the net that they open at 9am but when visited they told me they are closed, without any substancial announcement. Even the kind military personel around this museum was anaware that they were closed!!
