This special walk-in program limits access to just 15 visitors per day, allowing a small group to get an intimate look at the bomb casings, shells, and shrapnel fragments displayed in Shadows of War. A museum guide leads the group through the gallery, pausing at key pieces to explain their origin, impact radius, and the process of making them safe for exhibition. Visitors also see rarely displayed items from the museum’s storage, such as defused fuse mechanisms and detailed disposal reports.

The capped attendance ensures that each participant can ask questions and observe without crowding. By bringing visitors close to these artifacts, the session emphasizes both their destructive power and the delicate care required to preserve them. It is a rare chance to stand face-to-face with relics that once posed grave danger, now transformed into teaching tools for peace and memory.
