Nabu Museum opens anti-war poster exhibition “Peoples Against Wars, Bombs, and Governments”

NNA - The Nabu Museum in North Lebanon will inaugurate its latest exhibition, Peoples Against Wars, Bombs, and Governments, at 5:00 PM on Saturday, April 26, 2025. The exhibition, featuring posters dating from 1908 to 2024, will be held at the museum’s headquarters in Al-Hari and run until August 31.

A powerful visual protest against war, violence, environmental degradation, and authoritarianism, the exhibition transforms the museum’s walls into a platform for peaceful resistance. It invites all, especially Lebanon’s political parties, to adopt a language of dialogue and reconciliation rather than conflict and destruction.

Among the highlights is a series of rare posters bearing the slogan “Ban the Bomb,” a rallying cry from the 1960s countercultural movement. These pieces, acquired from global auctions, serve as stark reminders of humanity’s historical missteps—particularly eight decades after the bombing of Hiroshima—and as a warning against repeating them.

More than artistic expressions, the posters are tools of dissent and symbols of nonviolent philosophy. They question the normalization of militarization and promote the enduring power of art, music, and protest to reshape the discourse around peace, justice, and the future of humanity.

The exhibition is open to the public from Wednesday to Sunday, between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
