SUMMARY:NOMIS Lecture: Curating War and Peace: Jan Bloch and the Creation o
 f the World’s first Peace Museum

  serve the cause of peace? This talk answers this question by retracing th
 e history of the world’s first peace museum and its remarkable founder\,
  the Polish-Jewish millionaire Jan Bloch.\\r\\nThe lecture examines the or
 igins\, exhibitions\, and legacy of the world’s first peace museum. Foun
