The Peace Exhibition is held every year in conjunction with Memorial Day at the Miyakojima City Comprehensive Museum. This year's theme is “School Evacuation.” Exactly 80 years before now, in August, about 80 children from Miyako left their parents and were evacuated to Kyushu. Learn about war through the eyes of children, and think again about “what is peace.”
