The Outdoor Peace Museum of Sierra Leone, a Poignant Reminder of Civil War

My bus tour of West Africa made a visit to Sierra Leone. After years of a brutal Civil War Sierra Leone is now seeking peace and reconciliation. They created an outdoor mobile Peace Museum with sculptures made of concrete and Plaster. The sculptures, in honor of the victims, tell the history of Sierra Leone and its quest for peace.
