It commemorates the victims of the Osaka air raids and prays for peace, and exhibits materials related to the wartime experiences of Osaka people, with a focus on the air raids. It also has a library and a video corner, where books on war and world peace are available for loan, as well as panels, picture-story shows, and videos for peace education.
