The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum, based in Geneva, Switzerland, asks a central question: how does humanitarian action affect us all, here and now? In order to reflect on this question with our visitors, we invite artists and cultural partners to examine the issues, values and current situation of humanitarian action. We thus assert ourselves, in an open, agile and warm manner, as a place of memory, creation and debate. 

“Behind every conflict, past or present, there are always personal and unique stories that remind us of our shared humanity. The Hiroshima tricycle is above all the story of a little boy, Shinichi, and his family. We are deeply grateful and honoured to be able to perpetuate his memory, with care and respect, through this exceptional sculpture, now permanently installed at the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum in the heart of Geneva, the global centre of humanitarian action and multilateral diplomacy.”

- Pascal Hufschmid, Director General of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum 

The Red Cross was one of the first international organisations to reach Hiroshima after the atomic bombing and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement has always been clear that the inhumane impact of nuclear weapons means they should never be used again.
