The is part of the Ritsumeikan University in North-West Kyoto , Japan . The Museum is accessible to the public for a nominal 400-600 Yen fee. The displays and materials are mostly in Japanese but there is a handy, 25 page English booklet describing the exhibits in order and going into a decent amount of background and storyline. Well worth the trip, the Kyoto Museum for World Peace is near the Kinkaku-ji and just east of the main Ritsumeikan University campus. EXCERPT FROM ENGLISH PAMPHLET The standing exhibit of Ritsumeikan University's Kyoto Museum for World Peace is currently designed to emphasize the importance of peace primarily by covering the problems of war and the arms race and accurately portraying the suffering they bring about. However, through it's special exhibits, the Museum is also striving to extend its view to the problem of structural violence in an effort to contribute to the development of true peace.
