Internship Opportunity at Tehran Peace Museum
Internship Opportunity
فرصت کارورزی
In order to develop its international educational activities, the Tehran Peace Museum accepts qualified interns.
An internship in the TPM provides the opportunity to work closely with the victims of war - especially victims of weapons of mass destruction such as chemical weapons. Interns will also benefit from the unique opportunity to interact with the young volunteers at TPM, opening windows to an authentic image of Iranian society and culture. While working at the TPM, interns will have the opportunity to participate in the TPM's cooperative relations with the international organizations, too.
The objective of the internship is to provide exposure for young persons to come to Tehran and learn about the work and philosophy of the TPM. The intern will be set specific tasks and trainings and be expected to choose projects to work on from a pre-list of options drawn up by the intern's supervisor.
Interested individuals can read the internship policy for more information and sign up and complete the application form to apply for an internship.
TPM will contact the applicants regarding the result of their application and/or setting up an interview following their application.

What is a Peace Museum?
What is a Peace Museum?
When you first hear of a "Peace museum" you may be slightly mystified or perhaps even a bit skeptical. It is easy to imagine what goes into a war museum but what can you put in a peace museum? And if the peace movement is to be represented in a museum does that mean it is being relegated to the past?
Founding the Iranian Peace Museum
Founding the Iranian Peace Museum
Its founding began with a conversation between the founder of the Tehran-based Society for Chemical Weapons Victims support (SCWVS) and a coordinator for the international Peace Museums Network in 2005. This, as well as a visit to Hiroshima, Japan by members of SCWVS a year before, prompted the desire for a museum in Tehran.
Focus on Survivors' Involvement
Focus on Survivors' Involvement
"Their burnt eyes and their coughs express their suffering more eloquently than any words"
While visiting the Hiroshima Peace Museum the founders of the Tehran Peace Museum realized the necessity of involving the victims of war in the creation of the museum. Only these individuals could provide credible accounts of the harsh realities of war and their correlating desire for peace.
The Tehran Peace Museum
The Tehran Peace Museum
Currently housed in a building donated by the municipality of Tehran within the historic City Park, the Tehran Peace Museum is as much an interactive peace center as a museum. It coordinates a peace education program that holds workshops and hosts conferences on the culture of peace, reconciliation, international humanitarian law, disarmament and peace advocacy.
International Day of Peace Observance
On the occasion of the International Day of Peace, an event called " The role of museums in promoting a culture of peace" was held at Tehran Peace Museum (TPM) on 22 September 2024.

About US
Tehran peace museum
Tehran peace Museum is a member of the International Network of Museums for Peace. the main objective of the museum is to promote a culture of peace through raising awareness about the devastating consequences of war with focus on health and environmental impacts of Chemical weapons.
Currently housed in a building donated by the municipality of Tehran within the historic City Park, the Tehran Peace Museum is as much an interactive peace center as a museum.
On June 29, 2007, a memorial for the poison gas victims of the Iran-Iraq War (1980–88), along with a Peace Museum, was completed in a park in Tehran, the capital of Iran. These facilities were established by the Society for Chemical Weapons Victims Support (an Iranian NGO), the city of Tehran, some other NGOs, and individuals and groups in Hiroshima.
The museum coordinates a peace education program that holds workshops on humanitarian law, disarmament, tolerance, and peace education. At the same time, it hosts conferences on the culture of peace, reconciliation, international humanitarian law, disarmament, and peace advocacy.
Additionally, the museum houses a documentary studio that provides a workspace wherein the individual stories of victims of warfare can be captured and archived for the historical record. The museum’s peace library includes a collection of literature spanning topics from international law to the implementation of peace to oral histories of veterans and victims of war.
Permanent and rotating peace-related art exhibitions displaying the work of amateur international and Iranian artists and children's drawings are also housed in the museum complex. Finally, the Iranian secretariat for the international organization Mayors for Peace is housed in the Tehran Peace Museum.
