You might be familiar with museums of history, art, culture and the like, but how often have you encountered a museum that celebrates humanitarianism? If this sounds like something you would be interested in, then look no further than the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum in Zurich. Opened since 1988, the museum takes an in-depth look into humanitarian history, even before the establishment of the Red Cross. The permanent exhibition named “The Humanitarian Adventure” is segregated into three areas representing three international challenges – Defending Human Dignity, Restoring Family Links, and Reducing Natural Risks. In an attempt to steer away from the traditional passivity of typical museums, this museum is more interactive, raising your awareness and emotional connection to the human condition and subsequently, encouraging you to take action. You can even see real life humanitarian operations under the organizations in the “On the Spot” segment. Reflect on what it means to be a humanitarian by visiting the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum.
