On 21 September 2025, the International Museum of the Reformation joins the International Day of Peace with guided tours in French and English of its new exhibition Apocalypses. What did you see in Hiroshima?
Presented to mark the 80th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the project brings together photographs and testimonies from survivors of the atomic bomb, the hibakusha, collected by Geneva-based artist Nicolas Crispini. This exhibition and the guided tours invite visitors to remember past events, reflect on today’s nuclear threats, and consider the urgent need to build peace.
The tours are complemented by an origami workshop, inspired by senbazuru, the legend of one thousand cranes and the story of Sadako Sasaki, a young girl exposed to the radiation of Hiroshima who set out to fold one thousand paper cranes to fulfill her wish for recovery. Her unfinished project has become a universal symbol of peace, hope, and resilience.
