Yes, the collections seem to consist primarily of art works, which is fine;
that answers my question about what a peace museum might exhibit.  I see that
one of their themes is "the horrors of war."  I think it's important to note
that in this respect "peace museums" may well overlap with military museums,
many of which also deal with the horrors of war, implicitly and/or explicitly.
