On September 21, 2025, the International Museum of the Reformation is celebrating the International Day of Peace by offering 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 the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this project brings together photographs and testimonies of bomb survivors, the hibakusha, collected by Geneva-based artist Nicolas Crispini. This exhibition and the tours will invite visitors to remember past events, reflect on current nuclear threats, and the urgent need to build peace.
The tours will be complemented by an origami workshop, directly inspired by senbazuru, the legend of a thousand cranes, and the story of Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl victim of Hiroshima radiation who set out to fold a thousand paper cranes to fulfill her wish for healing. His project, sadly unfinished, has become a universal symbol of peace, hope and resilience.
Program
