The Peace Gallery began in 1997 to support the third goal of the Peace Corps - "to strengthen Americans' understanding about the world and its peoples." With hundreds of photos with descriptions by returned Peace Corps Volunteers, the Peace Gallery provides a view of the world rarely seen outside of the Peace Corps experience.
