Nagoya City Water Science Museum to Host Special Summer Exhibition: “War and Waterworks – 80 Years Since the War, Let’s Think About Peace”
Nagoya City is pleased to announce a special summer exhibition at the Nagoya City Water Science Museum, titled “War and Waterworks – 80 Years Since the War, Let’s Think About Peace.” The exhibition is scheduled to open on July 31, 2025, at 3:00 PM. This timely event aims to provide visitors with an opportunity to reflect on the profound impact of war on urban infrastructure, specifically waterworks, and to consider the importance of peace in the context of post-war recovery and development.
The exhibition marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, a significant milestone that invites contemplation on the past and a renewed commitment to a peaceful future. Through a carefully curated collection of historical materials, photographs, and artifacts, “War and Waterworks” will shed light on how the vital services of water supply and sanitation were affected during wartime. Visitors will gain insight into the challenges faced in maintaining these essential systems amidst conflict, the resilience of those who worked to ensure their operation, and the eventual efforts towards rebuilding and modernizing them in the post-war era.
The Nagoya City Water Science Museum, dedicated to educating the public about the history and importance of water, is an ideal venue for this thought-provoking exhibition. By focusing on the intersection of war and waterworks, the museum seeks to illustrate the indispensable role that reliable water infrastructure plays in the daily lives of citizens and in the functioning of society, even, and perhaps especially, in times of crisis.
The exhibition is expected to offer a deeply moving and educational experience, encouraging intergenerational dialogue and fostering a greater appreciation for the peace and stability that many have come to take for granted. It presents a unique opportunity to connect historical events with tangible aspects of urban life, reminding us of the sacrifices made and the lessons learned from the past.
Further details regarding the specific content of the exhibition and any associated programming will be announced closer to the opening date. Nagoya City warmly invites all residents and visitors to attend “War and Waterworks – 80 Years Since the War, Let’s Think About Peace” and to join in this important reflection on history and peace.
