War

The “Espais de la Batalla de l’Ebre” (Ebro Battle Spaces) are a set of cultural assets linked to the recovery of the historical memory of one of the most transcendental events of the Spanish Civil War. Formed by a combination of interpretation centres and historical spaces, this asset is managed by the “Consorci Memorial dels Espais de la Batalla de l'Ebre” (Comebe) (Memorial of the Spaces of the Battle of the Ebro Consortium)

The Historical Memory Documentary Centre, with headquarters in Salamanca, is a state-owned and state-managed centre under the Sub-directorate of National Archives. Among its duties, are the following:

The museum focuses on the historical event of the bombing of Guernika, and more broadly on the Spanish Civil War. It also hosts a Documentation Center collecting existing information worldwide regarding both the bombing of Gernika and the Spanish Civil War.

The Balkan Wars Museum (Greek: Μουσείο Βαλκανικών Πολέμων) is a museum in Gefyra, west of Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia, Greece, dedicated to the Balkan Wars. The museum was founded on 26 October 1999. It occupies a two-storey building, built at the end of the nineteenth century near the entrance to the village. It is known as the Villa Topsin and it was here that the negotiations between the Greeks (under Crown Prince Constantine) and Ottoman forces were held when Thessaloniki was surrendered to the Greek army in October 1912.

The Museum is dedicated to the events of the First World War on the Isonzo Front. It presents two and a half years of warfare in the Upper Soča Valley, and devotes particular attention to the twelfth Soča battle, known as the Battle of Kobarid. The Museum features numerous interesting exhibits, a relief model of the Soča River Basin, an extensive photographic archive, a model cave and a documentary film presenting one of the largest mountain battles ever fought.

This online exhibition provides insight into some of the ways in which children were affected by the Balkan wars of the 1990s and the Rwandan genocide of 1994.

The Museum of the Great War in Marmolada had a creator, Dr. Mario Bartoli, and a financer, Dr. Bruno Vascellari. Both men were pioneers in the world of Museums dedicated to the memory of the Fallen in the Great War and the Marmolada Museum was inaugurated on June 9th, 1990. Shortly afterward, many others began opening in different towns.

This exhibition commemorated the centenary of the momentous battle and examined the huge medical and human impact of wounding during and beyond the First World War.

The museum presents the experiences of children who lived through the war in Bosnia, told through objects, video testimonies, and excerpts from oral histories. The 2018 Council of Europe Museum Prize – one of the most prestigious awards in the museum industry – has been awarded to the War Childhood Museum as part of the European Museum of the Year Awards. The museum’s collections feature diaries, toys, photographs, items of clothing, and a variety of other objects donated by war survivors.
