Interactive exhibitions are a new medium for peace education in Israel. The Peace Labyrinth, based on a model developed by Peace Education Projects (PEP) for an exhibition in the Netherlands, is the first project of this type in Israel. The model was revised to suit the needs and the political and social situation in Israel, particularly in Jerusalem. The project is an initiative of the Jerusalem Foundation, in cooperation with the Olivestone Trust and the Bloomfield Science Museum Jerusalem. The article presents the theoretical, methodological, and practical considerations at play in adapting the original model for use in Israel and notes the insights gained for peace education and for the museum’s educational endeavors.
