Friends host Nobel Peace Prize exhibition
The anniversary of the Nobel Peace Prize is being marked by Friends in Bury St Edmunds
Bury St Edmunds Meeting is hosting an exhibition celebrating 100 years of the Nobel Peace Prize.
The exhibition, opened by local mayor Julia Wakelam, explores the history and often untold stories of the peacemakers, social reformers and peace movements that have worked for international peace over the last 100 years.
It is part of a campaign that Bury Quakers are running to highlight the need for peace, both in people’s own lives and in the wider world. Other elements of the campaign include a play, Over The Top, which examines the growing role of militarism in schools and civic society, and an informal evening of poetry, prose and music themed on ‘the peaceable kingdom’.
The exhibition is on loan from the Peace Museum in Bradford and will run until the end of October.
